Hi again, thanks for your input. I've looked again at the package, and upstream did rename most relevant parts to "openshot-qt". The program itself (in /usr/bin) is called "openshot-qt", the manpages are, the MIME type is, and so on. Therefore, I think the best option would be to upload the empty transitional package "openshot". If I reuse the package name, the package would be called openshot, but the executable would be openshot-qt. So the upgrade from stretch would work, but the "openshot" executable would be gone. This is a bit confusing, IMHO. So if nobody objects or has a better idea, I'll upload the transitional package in the next couple of days. Regards, Tobias
