Bug#904302: Whether vendor-specific patch series should be permitted in the archive



Hi,

[As the main liferea uploader and the one that implemented this there.]

I don't object an alternative way of doing this, however, I am not going
to do the work. The reason why I did this was to remove the (packaging)
delta between Debian and Ubuntu because the package was often behind in
Ubuntu because of large (semi-) Ubuntu specific changes. Luckily the
technical code has been un-delta-ed some time ago, but if this is
forbidden I'll just drop the patch unless I get a patch that can be
up-streamed for this (I expect upstream to be helpful here).
