[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#962085: Bug#962085: bcalm, kissplice: both ship /usr/bin/bcalm

[David Parsons]

Dear Andreas,

bcalm is included in the kissplice sources as a git submodule. My 
understanding at reading the source and talking with upstream is that 
they will keep track with newer versions of bcalm but probably with a 
little lag. I am not absolutely sure they use an out-of-the-box version 
of bcalm either.

If it is an out-of-the-box version of bcalm, I suppose the best solution 
would be to have kissplice depend on a specific version of bcalm and 
bump that dependency when upstream upgrade the version of bcalm they 
use. I'm just a little apprehensive regarding the potential discrepancy 
in the version of bcalm: we could end up with the same version of 
kissplice using different versions of bcalm depending on whether it was 
installed from source or via the .deb. I'm pretty sure upstream wouldn't 
want that...

David
