See http://bugs.debian.org/106073 and the discussion there.

So that's not a good example after all. In this case, upstream has deprecated the git-WOMBAT syntax as I understand it, so you're sort of swimming upstream on that one. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
