verybody gets all info and it ends up being *far* more difficult to solve the problems because nobody has all the information. Getting rid of one single name in that field would probably force people to use the packages.debian.org address which is better.

way with two virtual package names works. I think Andreas is right here. It'll be debian users that will suffer. I don't feel I know enough of the packages and kde to be sure which is the best technical solution but I do think we should work something out. And this regardless of whether we like kde or not. It's in the interest of our users and of not being called a "broken" distribution. That's at least how I feel about it.
