Package: devscripts Version: 2.20.3 Severity: serious Control: found -1 2.13.0
Hi, to my surprise the devscripts has no package relation with pristine-tar nor is it mentioned in devscripts' long package description despite origtargz uses it unconditionally. pristine-tar is though mentioned in the origtargz(1) man page and changelog.Debian.gz. origtargz though ignores any errors from the pristine-tar (not sure if feature or bug ;-), so a missing pristine-tar binary is not noticed during usage as origtargz just falls back to other acquisition methods. I hence suggest as fix for this bug to add pristine-tar to either Suggests or Recommends and mention it in the long package description as optional (but IMHO for origtargz recommended) dependency of origtargz. So while the RC severity is theoretically correct due to a missing package relation, I have no issue if someone prefers to downgrade this bug to e.g. important as it IMHO is not needed to prepare a devscripts upload now just because of this bug report. BTW, I just checked, this issue is present since when origtargz has been added to devscripts with version 2.13.0 from 2013. (How fitting. ;-) And again regarding the RC severity, I'm also not sure if this really validates stable updates in all supported releases. -- Package-specific info:
