Comment 3 for bug 247681

What were you dist-upgrading from, that needed this?

<tormod> do we have -driver-ati in any supported release?
<bryce_> maybe like dapper or something
 we don't ship it any longer
<tormod> yes, dapper which is 5 years LTS...
 5 years on server that is? without X?
<jcristau> but aiui upgrades from dapper need to go through hardy, so they'd drop that package at that point
 intrepid doesn't have to care
<tormod> jcristau: right

So it doesn't sound like this change is actually needed, although I've carried the change forward into the new -ati.
