[Debtags-devel] More digging on package relationships (re: tagcoll and packagesearch)

FYI:

< enrico> "Suppose" I have a source package 'tagcoll' that
	  generates libtagcoll1-dev.  One day I change API and I change
	  the source package to generate libtagcoll2-dev.  Suppose
	  there's a package called 'packagesearch' which build-deps on
	  libtagcoll1-dev, would libtagcoll1-dev be preserved until
	  'packagesearch' exists, or packagesearch will become
	  unbuildable?
  < dato> enrico: it will become unbuildable
< enrico> dato: ok, thanks. and sigh :(
< enrico> it makes sense, though

So, I thought I solved the problem with packagesearch building with the
old packages while we upload the new ones, but I was wrong.


Ciao,

Enrico
