Package: libvdeplug3
Version: 2.3.1-1
Severity: important
Justification: policy §8.1
libvdeplug3 declares
Conflicts: libvdeplug2
Replaces: libvdeplug2
but the documentation (e.g., the package description) does not
explain a reason. "dpkg -L libvdeplug2" does not reveal any
unversioned filenames that would cause file conflicts, at least.
Is the conflict needed?
I am hoping not, because it makes the upgrade path more rigid, both
from the point of view of keeping "sid" working during a transition
and keeping a working system during a dist-upgrade.
Thanks for keeping this basic component working well.
