Ah! You did say this, and I forgot. Thank you, that answers my remaining question about the dependency ordering. It would be good to get this explicitly documented somewhere.

Yes, that matches my experience. Adding Requires= fixed that case. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-ctte-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
