I still have trouble with this. There is already a
libc5 | libfoo-dev | /usr/{lib,include}
for each libfoo out there. When people upgrade from 1.3->2.0, what's
*supposed* to happen? It looks like what will happen this way is the
libc5 dev tools get replaced with libc6-based dev tools. If we assume
that they're taking the whole update at once, that'll be ok, because
the things like boot-floppies that depend on a -dev package will also
get updated -- but please make this *intent* explicit in the document...
For people tracking unstable (like me) it's fine if things are a bit
more complicated :-) as long as the QA group does some "install 1.3
and upgrade to 2.0" tests along with the fresh installs that they do...
