It would be great to see Toshio or another packaging super-expert
chime in here, to save time. :-)

But I *think* that's correct.  That way 'drupal' will not continue on
in F-15 -- only 'drupal6'.

Will that obsolete catch any drupal package with a major number of 6?
Again, I think so, but I haven't done an obsolete in so long I'd
rather have someone experienced give more useful advice.
