Re: sgml-tools and super weirdness
With super, the slink version was a separate NMU for frozen, while that version was already in unstable. So the changelogs are different, and they are differnet compiles. With sgml-tools, I can find only this oddity: Suggests: bsdmainutils Optional: groff, latex, dvips, texinfo, info-browser It uses the ancient Optional keyword. It looks like dpkg merged that with the Suggests, whereas dpkg-scanpackages lets it override the Suggests. Richard Braakman

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
