What problems does this cause? Upstream is not Debian - the two should not mix, even if your are the Debian maintainer. The debian/ directory will have to be changed between upstream releases and must not be overwritten with the next upstream update. It is simply unacceptable to have the debian/ directory in the upstream source. Keep it in your upstream VCS if you want, but leave it out of the tarball. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
