Not much of a trouble but I wonder why there is a git package and a git-core package? Is there any different?

In the latest Maverick release, the git-core package is a "dummy" package, which has the git package as dependancy. This is because the git-core package has been renamed to git.

The dummy "git-core" package should be safely removeable.

In previous releases, it seems git was a virtual package for gnuit (GNU Interactive Tools) (source: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/git)
