I will also be happy to place you guys from upstream into the Uploaders: field and train people from Sixxs in Debian packaging (and the distro workflow) if there is the need.There would be no need for that, as we know how Debian packaging works, noting that we have been 'playing' with Debian since 1.2 era (heck, I have a p200 which was upgraded from there to the current unstable ;) and that the original Debian packaging was performed by us, and then extended to support the debconf support by Gary Coady which we integrated into that packaging and then somewhere along the way it finally ended up in Debian.
Ack. Good to hear.
Please also see the note in the very bug referenced by your email: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=692465#10
Yes, noted.
We still intend to do that and given some free time will come around to doing that including a full push of that work out to https://github.com/SixXS/aiccu but this all in due time, real life and work has to come first.
Here I'd like to step in. I highly recommend sticking to the git-buildpackage workflow here. This means having two independent Git repositories. The first is the upstream Git project of aiccu (e.g. on Github). Upstream releases are done in this repos and tagged properly. The second repos is the Debian packaging repos. It imports your upstream releases (via uscan --force-download --rename and a proper watch file pointing to the upstream tags of aiccu on Github).
The packaging achievements can in regular intervals be adapted on the upstream repos (if you like to ship the /debian folder upstream).
Mixing upstream development and debian packaging turns aiccu into some sort of a native package which I do disrecommend, as it mixes two workflows (upstream, downstream) that should IMHO stay separate.
Greets, Jeroen
