   Bug#1128391: nsxiv: Please add 'Provides

   Hi,   
      
   when checking bug #1082303 I realised that it seems we have kind of a   
   decision about the prefered fork for sxiv.  If it is really a drop   
   in replacement it should feature some   
      
      Provides: sxiv   
      
   and use the alternatives mechanism to provide the binary.  This can   
   be later become   
      
      Replaces: sxiv   
      Conflicts: sxiv   
      
   in case we might decide to remove sxiv and nsxiv would provide the same   
   executable name.  For sure this is up for discussion but by opening this   
   bug report I would like to create a place where this can be discussed.   
      
   Kind regards   
      Andreas.
