Thanks for the reply. I've so far prepared and uploaded 2.126 (unstable) and 2.123+deb12u1 (bookworm). I've also prepared 2.111+deb11u1, but not yet uploaded it as the debdiff ends up as: Mirrors.masterlist | 4444 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- debian/changelog | 7 2 files changed, 1394 insertions(+), 3057 deletions(-) The diff doesn't obviously look crazy, but it is clear that the current package in bullseye is from before the masterlist repository served as an input for the mirror-status system, which then produces the published version of Mirrors.masterlist. That accounts for a chunk of the diff, together with 3 years worth of data changes. Regards, Adam
