Bug#860466: RFS: equivs/2.0.10 [QA] -- Circumvent Debian package dependencies



Control: tag -1 -moreinfo

Dear Sean,

Thanks for your review!
Very helpful. And I pushed my fixes to branch qa_upload2.
(I removed the final releasing commit of branch qa_upload, and added update commit)

Package also re-uploaded to DoM amd64 and mentors.

I think these are all simple fix that suitable for stretch.
The policy don't require pre-approval to upload to unstable [0].

If the unblock is rejected, and someone need to to fix another RC bug for
this package, it's still possible since we have "testing-proposed-updates" [0].

Indeed.
The new d/copyright was generated by decopy.
I think it's just have issue to support native package, or 1.0 source format,
when I invoked decopy command. (I changed to 3.0 native afterwards)

Now I merged two parts.
New entries are catched by decopy, which find it in d/changelog, I think.

Fixed.

Fixed.

Fixed.

Hope you can sponsor this QA upload.
Thank you!
