Yet the new non-repacking leaves some doubts to me: - "Don't repack anymore." is a nice hint that something has changed, but yet it left me to find this out myself via the debdiff. - Using "repacknot1" as version appears to be a cruel hack. Ideally we'd have a new upstream version that could be packaged, but if that doesn't happen soonish, we'll have to live with that hack. (Introducing an epoch doesn't seem like a better solution either...) - Why do server binaries belong to a "data" package? Isn't that just a hack to avoid a new source package? - The original license appears to disallow re-packaging/splitting, hence there must be some exclusive exception provided to Debian. This is, however, not detailed in the copyright file. Best regards, Michael
