Package: cdd-dev
Version: 0.5.0
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Currently packages that use cdd-dev will not build when they are
targeted at an Ubuntu release in debian/changelog as there are
no sources.list files shipped for those versions.

I don't want to add these so that we can fork packages such
as debian-edu, but those packages are used by some people
on Ubuntu, and the current situation means that we can't
upload specific targeted fixes to Ubuntu when we need to.

The reason that I am requesting now is because we have just had this.
Currently we have older versions of cdd and debian-edu in the archives
that Debian. We want to fix a bug that you have already fixed in
Debian, but as we are releasing this month we just want to cherry-pick
the fix. The current situation means that we have to add the 
sources.list files as well. It would be great if you had them already
so that we could reduce the diff to Debian in cases like this.

I've attached a patch with a suggested patch. It includes files for
the current development release, and the one that will be development
next month.

Thanks,

James
