             Hi all!


             Feeling dumb (again...) I have a package which I now need
        to split
             into subpackages.

    [cut]


        Does this help?

    No, not really. My case is really the one-to-many case, probably to
    simple to be mentioned in that doc (?)


You can use the n to m case, with n = 1. What the doc says is that you
create an empty -compat subpackage, that obsoletes your previous package
and that requires your new subpackages.
After one release cycle you add again your old name and obsolete the
-compat package.
That's what I understand, at least


Ahh... that should actually work! Thanks, and sorry for not reading that link once more before my first reply!

Cheers!
