Package: gnokii
Version: 0.6.8-0.2
Severity: minor

Hello,

The upstream tarball of gnokii contains the debian/ dir already. This is
generally considered a bad thing.

To keep it short: if someone from Debian wants to change something about
the package, they have to patch the debian/ dir which is usually provided by
Debian itself, which is confusing at best (if you want more info I can
provide some references to discussions about this topic).

I'd strongly suggest you ask upstream not to ship a debian/ dir inside
their tarball.
