See an updated debdiff > output attached to this message. Thanks. One is supposed to be fixing the bug in unstable first though. “Exposing” users to bug fixes before uploading to spu is usually a very good idea. Also, versions must be stable <= testing <= unstable, which your upload would violate. I'd suggest: - upload 0.95-2 to unstable right away, with 3.0 (quilt) if you like. - wait a few days to make sure no regressions are reported. - propose a 0.95-1+deb7u1 debdiff with the patch applied directly (without the format change); since it shouldn't be much of a change apart from the version string, it should be quick to review. ;) Mraw, KiBi.
