Debian政策手册中的7.4和7.6.1部分描述了将Debian软件包分为两部分的正确方法。但是，我有一个更复杂的情况。如何拆分现有的Debian软件包，使其中一个新软件包预先依赖于另一个软件包？
我现在有两个包，在，比方说，版本1.2.3：
Package: foo-base
Package: foo-dbserver
Depends: foo-base (>= 1.2.3)
最初，这relationsihp是有道理的，但随着时间的推移，和有点意外的富基元素有来取决于foo-dbserver的元素。更糟的是，现实情况是foo-base需要先取得元素foo-dbserver。所以我现在想要的是富基，分成富必要和富基如下的1.2.4版本：
Package: foo-essential
Replaces: foo-base (<< 1.2.3)
Breaks: foo-base (<< 1.2.3)
Package: foo-dbserver
Depends: foo-essential (>= 1.2.4)
Package: foo-base
Pre-Depends: foo-dbserver (>= 1.2.4)
这三个包上新安装高高兴兴地安装，但它们并没有干净地升级：
dpkg: regarding foo-base_1.2.4_all.deb containing foo-base, pre-dependency problem:
foo-base pre-depends on foo-dbserver (>= 1.2.4)
foo-dbserver latest configured version is 1.2.3
dpkg: error processing foo-base_1.2.4_all.deb (--install):
pre-dependency problem - not installing foo-base
dpkg: regarding foo-essential_1.2.4_all.deb containing foo-essential:
foo-essential breaks foo-base (<< 1.2.3)
foo-base (version 1.2.3) is present and installed.
dpkg: error processing foo-essential_1.2.4_all.deb (--install):
installing foo-essential would break foo-base, and
deconfiguration is not permitted (--auto-deconfigure might help)
(Reading database ... 39107 files and directories currently installed.)

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of foo-dbserver:
foo-dbserver depends on foo-essential (>= 1.2.4); however:
Package foo-essential is not installed.

Errors were encountered while processing:
foo-base_1.2.4_all.deb
foo-essential_1.2.4_all.deb
foo-dbserver
有没有一种方法可以正确表达这种关系，从而可以进行升级？完全将foo-base重命名为别的东西（并且使用名称foo-essential,foo-dbserver,foo-base2）是一个更好的解决方案吗？
