Jason, I hadn't read back on all this discussion. I caught up a bit more. Sorry to have you hash this out again.
I think your definitions and goals are good and useful. However, I personally would weigh in, in the case of an upstream .tar.gz file which dpkg-source can handle and doesn't have other problems (such as shipping binaries), in that case, I think it's better to use the "pristine upstream archive" as you call it. And I think this normative *recommendation* should be in Policy. Do you disagree with that point? -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
