I'm advised that I shouldn't rebase a published branch and overwrite
the original published location.
If I rebase this branch, will this cause trouble for my flex-based
parser branch, which I took off from the triggers code ?

Is this really a worthwhile exercise ?
The commit messages came from debcommit which I think is a very useful
tool and helps keep debian/changelog up to date. But if other people
working on dpkg don't like that way of working I can do it
differently.
If you can tell me how to fix the email address for future commits I'd
be happy to. (The documentation isn't particularly well-structured
and this makes it hard to find for myself.) I note that it's git's
mistake with my email address since anarres's /etc/mailname says
davenant.greenend.org.uk as it should, so git ought to have used
ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk.

I think that all of these changes should be merged and the bugfixes
are both uncontroversial and in some sense necessary for triggers.
(The latter is the case because they're bugs I found while testing the
trigger processing, which suggests that the bugs aren't usually
exercised by pre-triggers code paths.)
Ian.
