Re: Repackaging and its documentation
Hi Mechtilde,
If you removed some non-free files from the original tarball,
a "+dfsg" suffix should be used, and the deleted files should
be annotated in debian/copyright.
If you removed some redundant files already provided by another
package, or added some convenient copy of something, "+ds"
would be a better option and the changes should be annotated
in README.Source.
