Well, it depends from your workflow. If you in Debian Edu prefer it
this way - I don't really mind. It might happen on fresh SVN checkouts
that debian/control is newer than debian/control.stub and make will not
create a new control file. That happened to me today (*I* realised the
problem, others might overlook). Perhaps the Makefile of blends-dev
should be tweaked to avoid this. Patches are welcome.
Kind regards
Andreas.
