I am reassigning the bug back to calamares. As much as fixing the
problem may require an upload of calamares-extensions, an upload of
calamares-extensions will not fix the problem that is being reported
here. As calamares is taking over a file, it must declare Breaks and
Replaces (against the old version that already exists), so a sourceful
upload of calamares is required for fixing it.

Please do not repurpose this bug for the necessary clamares-extensions
upload, because doing so confuses dumat and will make it file a
duplicate. If you want to track the issue in calamares-extensions
separately, that's fine. Just make a new bug. You may even block this
bug by your new bug. Having two bugs also nicely corresponds to the need
for two uploads to settle the matter.

I hope you agree with this explanation and with my revert of Jonathan's
action.

Helmut
