Bug#10405: dpkg-dev bugs [cont'd -- messed up last time w/ thanks]
retitle 4525 NOT A BUG [was: dpkg-buildpackage assumes file protections and shoots self in foot]
retitle 4628 dpkg-source feature request: deal with binary files
severity 4628 wishlist
retitle 7714 CLOSABLE [was: dpkg-source should possibly not use unified diff format]
retitle 10405 NOT A BUG [was: inconsistent docs]
severity 13961 wishlist
thanks
Bug 4525 is not a bug, so have said Ian and Guy (read the bug log).
Bug 7714 is not a bug, nor would anyone really recommend going from
unified diff format to '-C 2'.
Bug 10405 is not a bug, not a good idea, and a policy issue rather
than a dpkg-dev issue. It asks for pkgs to be able to have ':' in the
names of them, a thoroughly bad idea.
Bug 13961 is a request for source-dependancies; definately an
important wishlist, but a wishlist, not a bug.
