Package: atftpd Version: 0.7.dfsg-3 Priority: serious Justification: Policy violation, section 3.6
Atftpd 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 tftpd-hpa) do not provide the same behaviour. For starters, atftpd users /tftpboot as the standard (non-FHS) location for files, whileas tftpd-hpa uses /srv/tftpboot and tftpd uses /var/lib/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 behaviour 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
