[Splashy-devel] Bug#424732: splashy: Missing conflicts with usplash

[Michael Biebl]

Package: splashy
Version: 0.3.3
Severity: normal

usplash is missing a conflicts with usplash. As a result you can install
both which will obviously lead to clashes.

Maybe it would make sense to add a virtual package "bootsplash-system"
(better name appreciated) and each splash package in Debian
(bootsplash/usplash/splashy) should add a Conflicts/Provides:
bootsplash-system.

Would imo be the cleanest solution.

If you agree, feel free to clone the bug for usplash and bootsplash.

Cheers,
Michael
