Bug#512220: ITP: mumbles -- plugin-driven notification system for GNOME



Heya

Try contacting upstream and ask them to remove debian/ from the sources.

This is not sufficient reason for repackaging sources. diff.gz will be
clean enough. You should only repackage sources if there are not DFSG
free. For everything else (eg. upstream ships debian, or derictory
structure is akward) you should keep the original tarball.

Right now for this package the ability to check tarball checksums
outweighs "to have a "cleaner" Debian diff.gz".
