Apropos, I've just noticed that:

$ LANG=C apt-cache policy libanculus-sharp
libanculus-sharp:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.3.1-1
  Version table:
     0.3.1-1 0
        500 http://ftp.debian.org unstable/main Packages
$

It seems like the archive currently has a "libanculus-sharp" binary package,
which is obviously wrong. The -2 version, in fact, provides (as per
Pkg-Cli-Libs policy) a libanculus0.3-cil binary package.

Should I request removal of the old package? Should I prepare an "upgrade
path"?

I suppose this would suffice:

--->8---
Package: libanculus0.3-cil
Provides: libanculus-sharp
Conflicts: libanculus-sharp
[..]

Package: libanculus-sharp
Depends: libanculus0.3-cil
[..]
---8<---

Am I wrong?

Kindly,
David
