The ideal situation is that the upstream tarball (and VCS) contain only source (no generated files) and contain no embedded code copies of other projects. If you can convince them to do that it would be helpful. If they want tarballs that contain more than just their source, they could generate some extra ones. https://wiki.debian.org/EmbeddedCodeCopies -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
