Please no. There is no RENAME in Debian, the only package operations

renaming churn, and lots of NEW reviews and ftp-master RM activity.
How about adding 'Provides: golang-github-alecthomas-chroma-v2-dev' to
those packages instead?
Thanks for explaining that. Sorry about getting it wrong. I'll work
on a tool that does this.
So, something like dh-fixdeps-golang [--show-changes] <pkg-name>
where passing the --show-changes will just show the changes, but not do
any modifications to debian/control.
Also, are the following assumptions correct?
1. The `pkg-name` will be cloned from salsa's Debian Go
2. The person running the tool will have at least read access to
salsa/go-team
3. The changes will remain local, at least initially for them to review,
commit and push
If/when a v3 arrives, things will over time migrate to the proper
solution, and meanwhile we have a small non-intrusive transition
mechanism that ought to work.
Yes, sure. This would keep the disruptions at a minimum. Thanks
