Exactly there is the problem. If you'd use dh_md5sums, a binNMU would be all that is needed to update your packages (yes, I know that is not yet possible for arch:all, but I guess the time will come...). In your case we have to wait until you've decided to upload all of your packages... -- Bernd Zeimetz Debian GNU/Linux Developer http://bzed.de http://www.debian.org GPG Fingerprints: 06C8 C9A2 EAAD E37E 5B2C BE93 067A AD04 C93B FF79 ECA1 E3F2 8E11 2432 D485 DD95 EB36 171A 6FF9 435F -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
