For instance, gnome-games still has : Provides: gnome-sudoku Obsoletes: gnome-sudoku Which means that if gnome-sudoku ever gets split back out, we're in trouble. Not to mention that it's a clear "loop" which modern tools have luckily been taught to break. Provides: gnome-sudoku = last_known_version-release+2 Obsoletes: gnome-sudoku <= last_known_version-release+1 Allows us to avoid all of these problems, making it possible to reintroduce gnome-sudoku at any higher version (the +1 and +2 tricks are because of disttags, it would be +0 and +1 otherwise).
