Hi,
In that case, like the results of recreating the products of autotools, I
understand that those files will be modified in the .diff.gz file and stored
in the SVN outside of the debian directory.
It's OK for me, it seems sensible :)
If there's no objections to the proposal, I'll try to modify the proposal to
reflect this change and add it to the conclusions part of the wiki page :)
