[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#723735: embassy-phylip: uninstallable in experimental: Depends: emboss-lib (< 6.4.1~) but 6.6.0-1 is to be installed

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

this could be easily solved by removing the package from experimental.
As far as I know this is done by some garbage collection process in
experimental anyway and thus I'm not tempted to make extra work for
ftpmaster and file a ROM(experimental) request.

So how to deal reasonably with this bug?

Kind regards

        Andreas.
