It's even possible you sent upstream a patch to fix the bug (I know I've done this several times). So, you either know for yourself or have been told by upstream how the bug was fixed. What is so fucking hard about describing this in the changelog? If you're not going to describe upstream fixes in the changelog, then don't close the bug in the changelog. The changelog is for describing changes, not listing meaningless numbers. Close it by hand with a note saying it's fixed in upstream version x.y.z. > change that does not refer to the Debian package (but to the original > upstream), and that i did not applied as part of my package working > (because it was applied from the upstream). Uhh, your packages include the upstream source, and therefore the upstream source is "part of your package working". > To demostrate how much this issue is stupid, i'll make any one here > happy by including the entire upstream changelog in > changelog.Debian.gz, next time i'll build a new upstream. You're quickly entering Matt Ryan territory. -- Poems... always a sign of pretentious inner turmoil.
