-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks,
What is Debian's policy, if upstream provides its own debian directory or package build procedure? Is upstream always right? Does or should this source package become a "native" package? How do I include patches? What if upstream's package sets conflict with Debian's packages, and I want to install upstream's packages? Is it the DM's responsibility to avoid this conflict or to preserve compatibility? Famous example for this would be the Linux kernel sources. Of course I checked Debian's Policy Manual, but AFAICS this subject has been successfully ignored by now. Any helpful comment would be highly appreciated.
