[00:12] <Delemas> The problem is I need to rebuild a debian package of 7zip and I started with bad package where someone clearly modified the original tarball.... Nothing can be simple...
[00:32] <Delemas> It would make sense to delete the source archive when the package is deleted.
[00:34] <sarnold> if no clients downloaded any packages built from it, maybe; it's a big guess, but probably deleting and recreating the ppa would free up the package name
[00:34] <sarnold> s/probably/maybe/
[00:43] <Delemas> Probably would but I've got 7 years of packages in there I would have to move to do that.
