Bug#601970: Permission to upload tk8.4
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Hi release team!
I'd like to upload tk8.4 with the following three changes:
1) Reduce indirect dependencies by replacing xvt for xterm in recommends.
Since recommends are now installed by default, it's better to make them
as small as possible. See bug
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=601591 for details.
2) Added ${misc:Depends} to debian/control (trivial change which in fact
adds nothing to the dependencies, but it's better to have this added
because tk8.4 uses debhelper).
3) Standards version bump to 3.9.1 (another trivial change which didn't
require any fixes in the package).
Could you allow me to make this upload? The diff between the current
8.4.19-4 and upcoming 8.4.19-5 is attached.
