I've been reviewing bugs in slang, and closing those that are fixed, and examining #47039.
This requires/recommends that the package names be changed to policy standards: slang1 -> libslang1 slang1-dev -> libslang1-dev slang1-pic -> libslang1-pic slang1-utf8-dev - > libslang1-utf8-dev slang1a-utf8 -> libslang1-utf8 slang1-utf8-pic -> libslang1-utf8-pic slang1-utf8-dev -> libslang1-utf8-dev slang1a-utf8-udeb -> libslang1-utf8-udeb Doing this is straightforward, but will require work by others: the following packages (other than slang & newt, which I maintain), require changes as a result, according to apt-cache: (change Build-Depends, Depends and recompile): dosemu xjed xine-ui xaos ttv timidity ticker tasksel slsc slrnpull slrn slmon pdmenu most lpe libterm-slang-perl jed-common jed gstreamer-aa gphone gimp1.3 gimp fte-terminal francine bb aview asciijump aalib1 aalib-bin util-linux partimage-server partimage nano-tiny lokkit cfdisk-utf8 cdebconf finally, build-essential would need changing, as it lists slang, and it its change would need to be timed with libslang entering testing. This may be too drastic a change at this time. What do debian-devel, and particular the Release Manage, think?
