I'm not entirely clear what to do with your comments below. Should I work on this package some more and upload it somewhere? Should I file bugs against the Debian package? Something else?
I would convey your changes to Makoto. I'm sure he's willing to add your changes to his development tree and upload them in the next release.
Should this be a wishlist bug?That would be best, so that your request gets tracked into the system. And wishlist bug reports are a handy TODO list for the package maintainer.
Ok. I'll do that.
Adding an extra target in the debian/rules to automatically download and package the version would improve the quality of the PGF package. Whenever the upstream package releases something new, it's easy for both the maintainer and regular users to retrieve the latest upstream package and start working on it.That sounds interesting. Can you point me to some documentation for this?Have a look at the Debian Policy: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html It is totally optional, but I find it very useful, e.g for the "cjk" package. You can easily update the package and get the latest CVS, SVN, GIT, etc. version and upload it to Debian.
Thanks for the pointer.
