An answer to my first question:
mpt If anyone knows how a computer program can tell the difference between a
transitional Ubuntu package and a non-transitional one, please let us know in
bug 526330
...
seb128 mpt, it can't really I think
...
seb128 mpt, seems we would need to add extra
That seems like a good idea. Two questions:
1. How can we tell, programmatically, which packages are transitional?
2. Who would ever want to see transitional packages, and when?
