Please unblock package cl-asdf

cl-asdf (2:2.011-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Mostly same as 2.010.9: several minor tweaks and bug fixes since 2.010.
  * Will be happier: users of implementations ACL, GCL; users of libraries
    CL-Launch, XCVB; future former users of ASDF-Binary-Locations; people
    with missing dependencies (in lieu of error-in-error); people extending
    ASDF (notably Stelian Ionescu), who'd like to use keywords to name
    component classes.

The relevant question isn't "what's wrong with 3.0", rather "what's
wrong with packaging changes when requesting an unblock".  The answer is
the same whether the change is to the source format, debhelper compat
level, addition or change of a patch system or other similar changes -
they add the potential for issues to be missed when reviewing the diff,
either because a small change has larger implications than it first
appears, or because the changes are only visible in the generated binary
packages, not in the source package.

The "3.0 (quilt)" format also makes diffs harder to review if
maintainers don't keep all of the changes made to the package in quilt
patches.  In this case, dpkg automatically generates a
debian-changes-$version patch which includes all the remaining changes;
even if the changes being made remain constant, the patch will change
name with every new upload, making a simple review more complicated - it
could be argued that this is a deficiency in the tools used for review,
which is to some extent true.

In this particular case, the fact that there are no local patches
against the upstream source and a single upstream tarball makes the
advantages of "3.0 (quilt)" rather redundant.  The Debian package also
clearly /has/ derived from upstream previously, as the version currently
in Squeeze has a non-empty .diff.gz.

However, the lack of patches also means that the source format change is
largely a no-op in this case.

I've unblocked the package, but *only* because it is blocking the
migration of RC fixes in other packages.

Regards,

Adam
