It does partly (that should then be moved to build-indep, too, shouldn't
it?).

However it was that way the previous package release.  In 0.3.1-5 I
moved the menu icons from the planetpenguin-racer package to the -data
package (since I thought architecture independent stuff should be there
after missinterpreting a thread in -devel during that period).  But in
-6 lintian complained about the missing icon when checking the
planetpenguin-racer package, so I moved it back, and since piuparts
didn't complained about that, I didn't spend more time about thinking
about possible problems.

Seems I have been wrong... During an upgrade it might be that
planetpenguin-racer 0.3.1-6 is installed, before
planetpenguin-racer-data 0.3.1-6 is, which leads to the reported bug.

First option would be to ignore this bug, since a) upgrades from the
stable distibution are not affected (the icon was in the same package as
it is now), b) even when upgrading in testing it is (AFACT) unlikely to
stumble about this bug.

Second option would be to use something like...
Replaces: planetpenguin-racer-data (= 0.3.1-5) to debian/control for
planetpenguin-racer.  That should force the old -racer-data package to be
removed before the new -racer package is installed, shouldn't it?  I'll
test that later.


Yours sincerely,
  Alexander
