Hmmm, I wonder what metapackage might remain to depend from cdd-dev ... > The transitional package should have been dropped for wheezy (but there > wasn't any new upload after squeeze). That's correct. I intended to leave the transition package for two Debian releases in case users might skip Squeeze. I admit that I will definitely not stick to this intention - so the most simple fix I would go for is to do this ... > For fixing this in jessie I'd propose to drop cdd-dev and add > Package: blends-dev > Conflicts: cdd-dev > Replaces: cdd-dev > to get rid of installations of the old faulty package. ... right now for Wheezy.

I'm not sure how to deal with this bug properly: missing copyright file in empty transitional package, already caused by a lenny->squeeze update. Therefore Cc:ing -release@ for their opinion on this (currently RC) bug. >From the piuparts point of view I'd rather like to see this fixed in the package than working around this in piuparts (IIRC this is blocking about 50 rdepends from being checked). The transitional package should have been dropped for wheezy (but there wasn't any new upload after squeeze). For fixing this in jessie I'd propose to drop cdd-dev and add Package: blends-dev Conflicts: cdd-dev Replaces: cdd-dev to get rid of installations of the old faulty package.
