There are also other changes:
* Use Quilt instead of custom patch system
- debian/rules: Convert to Quilt
- debian/control: Build-Depend on quilt
* Upgrade to Policy 3.8.0
- debian/README.source: New file, recommended by Policy 3.8.0, explaining
the build system (Quilt & how to recreate debian/boot.list)
* debian/README.Debian: Rewrite section about profiling the boot and warn
users to not profile if preload is enabled.
* Install readahead-check-lists to /usr/sbin/ and add manpage
* Set mode of file lists to 640 (security reasons) and add a lintian
override
I plan to upload today, tomorrow or friday, so it will be no problem with lenny
(as it will be in unstable soon enough). [I will create file lists soon]
debconf
----------------
The more important question is what to do about the debconf stuff.
If we do normal debconf, the /etc/readahead/profile-once would be touched on
every reinstall of the package.
True selected:
1) touch /etc/readahead/profile-once
2) touch /etc/readahead/profile-once and reset value to false
The second one would fix the problem, but I'm not sure if this is a good way to
work with debconf.
Another question is about translations. It seems we currently have two options:
1) Upload without translations
2) Wait for translations and request a freeze exception
3) Upload without translations,
3.1) wait until there are new translations
3.2) request a freeze exception for a translation-only upload.
