I like it a lot. It's somewhat debatable how to deal with divergence between the sume of topic branches and the integration branch/real source package contents, but that's something the package maintainers can be tasked with. What's particularly charming about this scheme is that such discrepancies do not impact repeatable builds. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
