Hi ubuntu-devel (2012.09.06_15:31:14_+0200) > The hooks just run a script provided by another package (in the > archive). It makes the decisions on how to collate things.
A (hopefully) clearer attempt to articulate this: We make the extras packages entirely self-contained and namespaced. Then, we provide some machinery outside them that handles collates things across extras packages. If there's some kind of conflict here, (although it should be avoidable), it's not an issue. It just results in a broken extras package. Not broken in a way that stops apt from working. And it doesn't break anything in the Ubuntu archive, only the conflicting extras packages.
