 Is it wise to rip off the working code (like the Makefile approach)
before the replacement is done? This is quite inconvenient for the
users, frankly spoken...  It would had been much more helpful if the
stuff that you introduced in 5.4.2.1~dfsg-1 would have stayed around
until the extra package is ready to use. I can understand from reading
the bugreports why you chose this path - but really, not having the
other package ready rather opens new bugs instead of fixing those. :)

 Thanks anyway for the update. :)
