Please unblock package blends
The just uploaded package closes #692946 by droping the two transitional
packages cdd-dev and cdd-common.
Note to the diff between previous version 0.6.15 and the candidate for
testing 0.6.16.
1. Packaging was moved to Git which is reflected in changed Vcs fields
and updated docs (see below for other docs changes)
2. Some additional changes
- debhelper 9 instead of 7
- Standards-Version 3.9.3 instead of 3.9.1
-> I'm aware that I should avoid such additional changes to reduce the
amount of changes to the version in testing to a bare minimum.
However, it did seem to me quite unreasonable to revert these changes
done in Vcs just to follow this requirement because I do not expect
any problem in this
3. debian/copyright: bug #692946 was about a missing copyright - I took the
freedom to generally update the copyright file to match DEP5
Other "upstream" changes of this native Debian package
4. when creating metapackages targeting at tesing I learned that the
sources.list.* files did not worked out of the box because of a the lack
of the debian/ dir on official Debian mirrors. I do not see any reason
to revert a change in Vcs and by doing so making the package a pain for
possible users who need to find out themselved that they need to adapt
their configuration examples in any case. I simply forgot to report a
bug severity important to file because I'm currently possibly the only
user who actively builds those metapackages for several Blends.
5. Enhanced documentation
The documentation for Debian Pure Blends is maintained inside the
package source Vcs and published[1] at the Blends homepage. The changes
do not only reflect the change of Vcs from SVN to Git but also other
things which are constantly updated and will enhance the understanding
of using blends-dev and other tools (not necessarily inside the
resulting binary packages). So there is a fair amount of changes inside
the doc/ directory of the packaging source and in blends-doc binary
package. I decided to strip these changes from the attached debdiff to
keep the inspection of the diff more simple. As said above I do not see
any sense to revert very reasonable changes from Vcs and by doing so
making the package inferior than it could be just to follow the minimum
changes policy.
I confirm that I'm fully aware that I'm violating the minimum changes
request of release team for an unblock request but I hope the reasoning
is convincing that these changes on one hand are non-invasive regarding
the functionality and make perfectly sense on the other hand.
Kind regards and thanks for your work on Wheezy release
Andreas.

this will also encourage other people to build metapackages if there are
