Is there any point in droping the history from debian/changelog and
feeding it with non-Debian releases instead? I'm perfectly happy with
moving the package to Debian Edu. However, I have some concerns:
0. The fact that the development of the package happened silently
and in parallel to an existing Debian package.
1. There is no defined way to get the upstream source - there is just
# We don’t provide a get-orig-source target because submodules
in debian/rules.
I would really prefer the gbp layout featuring an upstream and a
pristine-tar branch
2. You should *definitely* restore the old changelog of xrdp and
assemble all changes between the current released package (0.6.1-2)
to your release candidate.
3. Why do you plan
a) a non-official (random?) Git commit rather than a release?
b) uploading to experimental rather than unstable?
Kind regards
Andreas.
