Please note that gtimelog was removed from Debian a while ago, but remained in
Ubuntu, and now the plan is to add the latest upstream version back to
Debian. I've put myself as Maintainer and PAPT as uploaders.
Here's my question though: the d/changelog in PAPT svn has a bunch of entries
from the times it was updated in Ubuntu ahead of Debian. There's useful
information in there, but I'm wondering if I should trim d/changelog to just
the changes that occurred in Debian. E.g. dropping everything between
0.0+svn88-3 (last squeeze version) to 0.9.1-1 which will be the new upload.
OTOH, I suppose it doesn't hurt that much to keep all the Ubuntu changelog
entries in the file.
Anybody have strong opinions either way?
In the past, I've treated them as "NMUs" to the package, and just
included it in the changelog. There's no real harm in my mind, at least.
I've even written "Acknowledge Ubuntu uploads" almost like ack'ing NMUs.
