Thanks!

One other thing I thought of is that perhaps linux-swap(old) and
linux-swap(new) should also become aliases; I don't know whether the
person who introduced them, or anyone else, is depending on them. I know
that the Debian installer recently started using that name, but the
change there was strictly contained to one program so it would be easy
to adjust again.
