Package: ghostscript
Version: 10.0.0~dfsg-11+deb12u3
Severity: normal

Hello Steve,
ghostscript used to contain German man pages, however, they were not
properly maintained. As detailed in [1] ghostscript removed the 
German man pages from its git repository on January 4th 2023.

So the files are gone since Version 10.01.0rc1.

I imported them into manpages-de and will start shipping them with the
next release.

As per transition rules [2] you will need to add 
Breaks: manpages-l10n (<4.22) 
in your debian/control.

I will then add
Breaks: ghostscript (<<?)
Replaces: ghostscript (<<?)

In my debian/control. I'm a bit lost about the correct version,
though. So which version is best for "?"

I intend to upload around March 23 and I will provide a backport to
stable (without these translations, of course).

OK.  Committed to git.  Will be uploaded as version 10.02.1~dfsg-4.

I rarely deal with these situations, so I may be wrong, but
I would think the best version is the new one:  10.02.1~dfsg-4.

OK.  You titled the bug "coordinate uploads ...".  Do we need to do them 
together - on the same day or something?

Regards,

Ideally it is the first version which stopped shipping the German man
pages. Maybe you can browse your git history? It's good for partial
upgrades, though in the end I simply accept what you will choose.

Well, this would be a good idea, to choose roughly the same day, to
avoid uninstallable situations for people living on unstable or testing. 

I'm intending to prepare the next upstream release (and then
immediately the Debian release) on 2024-03-23. 

If this is inconvenient for you, we can wait until April. I simply
keep the German man pages in deletion (as I did with previous
versions) and then I release -2 on a date more convenient to you (and
then ship the German man pages).

Greetings

OK.  Let me know when you do the upload and I'll do ghostscript immediately.

Great and thanks, I'll let you know once I'm in the process. Most
likeyl on 2024-03-23rd.
