When a binary package simply gets a new name (no splitting or merging
involved), should there *always* remain a dummy/transitional package under
the old name, or are there exceptions where the dummy package is considered
to do more harm (littering, basically) than good, for example -doc packages

Apparently there have been bugs in this for years and no-one reported
them until they caused trouble for the d-i team several months ago.
They should be fixed in stable's aptitude now, and I would appreciate
bug reports on any transition problems that remain.
FWIW, I thought that you acknowledged

Hi,
I am trying to teach myself to package up a program for debian, but can't get
the manpage I have written to work properly.
It has the line '.TH CAJUN 1 "June 10, 2007"' near the top of the file and is
named cajun.1 in the debian dir inside the src package dir.
