(b) fails to say `Depends: X11R6'. (c) has the wrong name (it should be `ghostview'). (d) says `Conflicts: X11R6'. The latter is particularly unfortunate, as it will confuse dselect about which is the `preferred' version of the package. I suggest that when the ghostviewR6 package is renamed a dummy package with the same name replaces it which says `Depends: ghostview' rather than `Conflicts: ghostview'. Eventually (when most people's status and available files have been updated) this can be removed.
