I don't see anything there pertaining to my package. Perhaps I am overlooking something, can you please be more specific? > I don't > think that you convinced Joerg that there are ugly meta packages needed > for coexistence of development packages...

How is a user to automatically update to the latest version? As you could see in my message, I did ask Joerg again, but with no reply for a week, so nobody but Joerg knows what I did or didn't convince him of. Joerg, can you please comment? Or by "ask (or try)", do you mean that I should re-upload again? Thank you for the prompt reply.
