Hi, all, I'm admittedly no fan of cme's styling. While I have my own style that I prefer to use in d/control, I don't impose this on anyone--I would not force people requesting sponsorship to use it, nor would I change it while making a team upload.
cme introduces some consistency in the formatting that is definitely welcome. It also helps you flag things like non-secure VCS URIs and out-of-date standards fairly easily.
That being said, like any other tools, it should not be used blindly and whoever messed with your comment should have inspected the diff before.
That being said?
Is there a reason to apply cme systematically to packages as part of any upload? Besides my dislike for what it does to the file, it has in one case moved a Depends line away from the comment that describes it (so the comment ends up being next to something else).
Comments in d/control, what is this practice? Why do we have README.Debian and README.source then?
