Urgh, I find this assertion really quite annoying, and seeing it in two consecutive . Jumping through hoops to keep the diff contained in debian harms reviewability as much as having arbitrary changes scattered over the source tree. Really, we want things to be as clear as possible; and if that means changes outside the debian directory, then *that is fine*. We're not just writing meta-data to install software in a debian package (though that is a fine goal to be aiming for), we're fixing such bugs as needed to have the software work well on debian (or at least however many bus a particular DD feels up to fixing :)). -Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://www.robertcollins.net/keys.txt>.
