I have no idea what the command 'cme' is or does. I have never seen it
before. From context this seems to imply some scripted way in which _you_
modify debian/ files.
Fine.
Now assume that I do not use the same scripted solution. Is that ok?
I had asked you very explicitly in the last email if you do this:

but you chose to chop that part off.
Can I ask again? As you have packages 'before' and 'after' your changes,
could you possibly detail a change in a way I can comprehend?
I would really appreciate it.
Thanks so much, Dirk
