First, please make sure to adhere to the source policy [0] which I mentioned to you multiple times already: * one commit per change, no changelog entry committed * DEP-3 headers in all patches * one commit per release with the full polished changelog entry In this one single commit, you have added _three_ patches (none of which have been reported upstream) and released a new version; then you just come and request that Debian includes your invasive patches in a new upload to our development release without preliminary discussion at all. Doing things "Debian first" shouldn't mean "discuss things on Ubuntu- devel without including the Debian maintenance team, then prepare invasive patches, dump them on the packaging repository and file a ticket on their list to have them upload it for you". I would have preferred if debian-printing had been informed of the discussion I then found today on ubuntu-devel. I would also have preferred if you had dumped such invasive patches on a master-ubuntu branch and uploaded preliminary packages to Ubuntu's development distribution: there are things that are worthwhile to do "Debian first" (most things that are _not_ Ubuntu specific should be done together and in coordination with Debian), but you can't rely on volunteers to upload your R&D work in a timely manner to Ubuntu through Debian. So, for now, I'm quite annoyed and have other things to do in the next days, so don't expect an upload from me right now. Feel free to upload this to Ubuntu first, I will likely backport most of it at a later point. OdyX [0] Sure, it's unwritten (yet), but if you look at the history you can get it, I'm sure.
