What is the proposed handling of a package whose name has changed? (e.g.: the author of foo-0.1.tar.gz, Debian package foo_0.1-1_i386.deb, changes the name of the package to bar-0.2.tar.gz) The only thing which comes to my mind is treating the old package as 'conflict' for the new one, but there

Hi, I have a package, vcdimager, which doesn't build on the arm architecture, because of the way gcc handles bitfields on arm. It is non-trivial to fix this problem right away, so I would like to know what is a good thing to do. Is it ok, to put the rest of the architectures in the Architecture
