Yes, you are right, but this is okay. A new source code release upstream requires a new source upload anyway (okay, if they distribute arch dep parts seperately, there is no real requirement for this, but I still think its the cleanest solution to consider the whole thing source and all arch dep parts as one source). If you don�t mind the additional upload (or two), this would be the best way to do it, IMHO. bye, marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
