CVS apt will insist on upgrading sgml-tools every single time because of this, Richard can we fix dpkg-scanpackages (quickly) to emulate dpkg? I very much don't want back out this latest change :< (there is no way for me to compensate, the information is filtered out by dpkg and dpkg-scanpackages) Thanks, Jason
