Given its purpose is as transitional package I have to say yes.  Otherwise
why does it exist?

I presume you want people with CSWcupsdoc to do and update and get the new
CSWcups-devel without thinking.  That's what I and the build farm
attempted, sample size 2 and we had 100% failure; the previously working
system failed after update.  Is auto install via the transition package
necessary? no.  Is it helpful? yes.

In time you will quietly drop the old CSWcupsdoc and if you are being
really tidy you will add an interference in the new to remove the old
(depending on the package tools).


CSWcups-devel vs CSWcups-dev, it's just fashion, neither is wrong, dev is
more economical and just as clear, I prefer dev.
