Re: Bug#366526: [mostly-dummy-RC] Don't migrate; changes planned

[Simon Josefsson]

FYI, today's daily build solves both of these issues: the shishid
package is renamed to shishi-kdc, and there is a libpam-shishi
package.  They are lintian clean too.

One question: How to handle the package renaming?  Should shishi-kdc
have these fields:

     Provides: shishid
     Conflicts: shishid
     Replaces: shishid

This seems to be the only thing left for 0.0.26 and a new upload.
