I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. What is a "recent ibus-table"? > There is also some build system change from upstream, which should not bother > us at all. Do you mean they are not used when building the Debian package, or something else? > I got large (30M) debdiff by running "debdiff ibus-table-chinese_1.3.5-2.dsc > ibus-table-chinese_1.4.0.20121008-1.dsc" > It seems to be because of that the directory structure of packaging > is changed. Unfortunately, changing the directory structure of the packaging is not something that fits the current freeze policy: http://release.debian.org/wheezy/freeze_policy.html (... and I'm pretty sure it didn't fit even the less restrictive one that was current at the time when this unblock request was filed.) > Check the commits in upstream repo and see how little user-visible change is > made: > https://github.com/definite/ibus-table-chinese/commits/master This is great news, since it will probably ease getting the needed fixes into Wheezy. Then, may I suggest you cherry-pick the really needed few user-visible changes and use these to either propose a package for testing-proposed-updates, or get them as 1.3.5-3 into sid with minimal changes, depending on whether the 1.3.4-1 to 1.3.5-2 delta itself meets the freeze policy?
