Package: debdelta
Version: 0.53
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

  with latest debdelta (0.53 in experimental) and other versions in
testing/unstable (all have been tried).

  while using a very slow connection the debdelta-upgrade will repeatedly time
out, meaning the run will not finish loading the debdeltas without being
restarted.

  i consider it a minor bug as it is easily fixed by the user, and only some
few people are on such slow connections any longer.  this is a note for those
who might experience similar timeouts.

  by adjusting the timeout value from 15 seconds to some larger value will help
people with slow connections to get the debdeltas downloaded in fewer tries.

  there is only one use of the word timeout in /usr/bin/debdelta so that is
easy to find and adjust.

  so far 600 seconds seems to work for me, but others may wish to use some
other number.
