Package: tftpd-ha Version: 0.48-1 Priority: serious Justification: Policy violation, section 3.6
Tftpd-ha Provides: the 'tftpd' virtual package, but that package is not listed in the canonical virtual packages list at http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/virtual-package-names-list.txt This is a Policy violation and, what is worst, induces users to confusion as this (and aftpd) do not provide the same behaviour. For starters, tftpd-hpa uses /srv/tftpboot as the standard location for TFTP files whileas aftpd uses /tftpboot. Please either remove the provides or get together with other maintainers of tftpd daemons and determine what is the common interface (and location of files) so that users that install a package Providing: tftpd can make reasonable assumptions as to its behaviou and *then* ask debian-policy to add 'tftpd' as a virtual package. I would really encourage you to follow the second road, even if more complex, as it would be better overall for all our users. Regards Javier
