Dear Takaki, great to see someone joining in the effort of the ghc migration, it is very appreciated. I was about to write something about committing your changes to Darcs, but as I was writing, your commit messages arrived :-) A minor note, though: You have uploaded this changelog: $ less changelog haskell-hxt-unicode (9.0.1-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release -- TANIGUCHI Takaki <takaki@debian.org> Mon, 11 Apr 2011 16:18:24 +0900 haskell-hxt-unicode (9.0.0-2) UNRELEASED; urgency=low * Use ghc instead of ghc6 -- Marco Silva <marcot@debian.org> Sat, 15 Jan 2011 12:41:14 -0200 haskell-hxt-unicode (9.0.0-1) unstable; urgency=low * Initial release (Closes: #601836) -- TANIGUCHI Takaki <takaki@debian.org> Thu, 28 Oct 2010 20:10:31 +0900 Ideally, if there are UNRELEASED changes and you create a new upstream version, you should obtain this changelog: haskell-hxt-unicode (9.0.1-1) unstable; urgency=low [ Marco Silva ] * Use ghc instead of ghc6 [ TANIGUCHI Takaki] * New upstream release -- TANIGUCHI Takaki <takaki@debian.org> Mon, 11 Apr 2011 16:18:24 +0900 haskell-hxt-unicode (9.0.0-1) unstable; urgency=low * Initial release (Closes: #601836) -- TANIGUCHI Takaki <takaki@debian.org> Thu, 28 Oct 2010 20:10:31 +0900 In this case it did not really matter, but if there were Closes:-entries in the UNRELEASED section, it would make a difference. I suggest that you use debchange to add new entries, as that automatically takes care of all these issues, e.g. "dch -v 9.0.1-1" would have given you the above changelog entry. For that it is recommended to put DEBCHANGE_RELEASE_HEURISTIC=changelog into ~/.devscripts. Also, if you are motivated and have the time, feel free to upload any packages http://release.debian.org/transitions/ghc7.html in bad or unknown state.
