#119173 debarchiver doesn't handle moves between main, contrib, and non-free

If a package is uploaded to main, then the debian/control is modified to move
it to non-free, debarchiver doesn't remove it from main.  I then end up with
the old version in main, and the new in non-free, at the same time.

severity 119173 wishlist

Yes I know... It is a known missing feature. When I fix some other stuff
that will probably be implemented. Actually it just tries to remove
the files if they are in the same directory. This is not a ver good solution
because whenever you change any location (let it be main->non-free or
utils->mail) the old one will not be moved. The solution is to store
the .changes file (already done) or a list of where everything was placed
so the file(s) can be removed properly. So I just have to grab some time...

All such patches are welcome. ;) And yes I know that the code is not
always very readable... :(

You should bcc control@bugs, not cc.  Otherwise, stupid people will not remove
the address from the reply mail(I had to do so manually).

No need to store the changes.  Just read the directory tree.  It contains all
the info you need.

Have you heard of trimming mail when replying?

Hmm... Does not cc mean "do not add when reply"? I think the mail program
does wrong in this case. But you are right bcc will avoid that. :)

Yes. But when replying about 20-30 mails a day I do not have that
much time, sorry.
