Debian Science policy outdated (Was: plplot_5.10.0-0.1_amd64.changes is NEW)
Hi all,
Axel is perfectly correct that Debian Science policy is unmaintained and
outdated. While things mentioned below could be easily fixed by
cme fix dpkg-control
there are other issues we should fix. I'd recommend taking Debian Med
or Debian GIS policy as template since both have evolved since the time
when Debian Science was touched the last time.
Kind regards
Andreas.
PS: And no, I will not volunteer to do this job, sorry.
