Only thing I can think of is something like this: dpkg-divert --package my-libc6-wrapper --add /lib/libc-2.7.so cp /lib/libc-2.7.so /lib/libc-2.7.so.my-libc6-wrapper and mv /lib/libc-2.7.so.my-libc6-wrapper /lib/libc-2.7.so dpkg-divert --package my-libc6-wrapper --remove /lib/libc-2.7.so A case where an intervall without the file is unacceptable. > I don't think that the meaning of dpkg-divert (without --rename) should be > changed, but I think that for declarative diversions, it makes sense to only > support "rename".
