I can see no gain to loose dependency > on this package for the reason you raised (and for this package > you can simply remove this, while for gnome-desktop (for example) > we actually have to wait until (almost) all package are rebuilt) I was not talking about packages that fail to rebuild but about packages that stop working after an update, although all dependencies are still met. Please ask yourself, what is better from a users point of view: a) When epiphany gets updated he will loose the functionality of the gget extension until it's getting rebuilt. When gget gets updated afterwards, everything is fine again: everything works, no orphaned dirs b) When epiphany gets updated the update will fail due to broken deps. The user has to work around them by removing gget-epiphany-extension and installing it and to re-install it when it was rebuilt. Or he has to wait and to bear the risk that epiphany itself gets broken. I know that my suggestion does not follow the rules, but IMO we don't need to follow a rule as if it was a mantra. > Then: > if epiphany has 2.22{,X} version, the epiphany won't conflict > with these two. You are right, I did not think if the minor version. Nevertheless "Conflicts" must only be used when packages really conflict, this means they cannot be installed at the same time, e.g. because both provide the same files or functionality. > So I am asking you to ask epiphany maintainer first (as I did to > vim maintainer).

Please contact with epiphany maintainer first. And we have mozilla-filesystem and we have ... I think a filesystem package would be overkill here, but I agree you pointed out some valid points. OK, but I want to make a constructive suggestion and not only open a bug.
