I’ve been told that my previous suggestion was not clearly worded, so let me try to be a little more specific. I was directly proposing that, instead of silently removing the texlive-lang-danish — and at least texlive-lang-norwegian — binary packages, they could be added back as dummy transitional packages depending on texlive-lang-european (that is, as far as we were able to guess, providing the texlive-lang-danish — and texlive-lang-norwegian — features). That way, this transition is not tight to the celerity third party packages are able to cope with the change in our archive. As an added value, any third parties (including those not in the Debian archive) can benefit of a smooth upgrade instead of a disruptive change. I’ve witnessed many such transitions, they even usually are kept in the following stable release (so stable-to-stable upgrades are not too disruptive for those third parties, and our users). I failed to come up with a best practice URL documenting such transition, is someone able to provide one, or correct me if I’ve made that up? (Maybe the dev-ref would be the appropriate place to document such transition, I’m willing to propose a patch if it’s worth it.)
