Hello Floris,

I'm postponing the init script topic for now: I need to think about it.

You're completely right: dak wouldn't care. I mixed up with the issue on
the tarball name when moving something from contrib to main. In our case
we just need to upload the very same tarball with another name.

Hence it's possible to rename the source package in the 4.1.2-2 upload.
I'd vote for this change so that we do all transitions at once.

Regards,

Thomas
