#8 Request: svgalib1-libggi2 *Replaces* ?

[Dirk Mittler]

I don't know all the details, but since most libsdl (Debian) back-ends, plus other software, depends on libsvga1, would it not be better to have

Conflicts: libsvga1
Replaces: libsvga1

as meta-data, instead of just

Conflicts: libsvga1 ?

Right now, svgalib1-libggi2 is just about uninstallable for this reason.
After all, if you're telling programmers to build against libsvga1-dev , then the functionality should really be pretty close.
Or is there added functionality in libsvga1 , which is still indispensable?
