Hi, to address bug 615227 in squeeze, would you consider accepting an
updated package with just these changes?

- or do you have any other feedback for me, what is the best thing to
do?
A few things:
- the fix should probably get a bit more exposure in unstable before we
accept it in stable
- changing the source package format in a stable update is a no-no
The package in squeeze was packaged as a "native" package. I asked on IRC in
#debian-release
how to apply the patch in this case. I was told to either apply the patch to the shipped
"upstream" tar
archive, or to either change the packaging.
I opted to change the packaging as this would show what has changed since the
original tar. I provided
this new packaging to the DD for his convenience.
Would it have more change of being included in a stable point release if the
original packaging is
kept and the patch applied to the tar?
- the patch itself looks reasonable enough
Regards,
Rik
