Oh, I know the changelog must be updated, but some maintainers have the opinion that upstream should not have a debian/ directory. So when they do, there's conflicts. If the Debian maintainer wants to keep it up to date, I'm happy to let him, since my main changelog is in the git commit fields anyway. I don't usually get patches to my repo for the debian/ directory, so I ended up trying to keep changes to debian/ minimal, so that the diffs for downstream would be smaller. Of course, if I'm the maintainer, I'll have to keep it more up to date than I have been. > * use git-dch to get intermediary snapshots versions (this will give > you something like 0.18.0-1~1.gbp9cb656, 0.18.0-1~2.gbp646619 and > so on) that won't conflict between themselves or with the official > Debian ones, and that will provide sane upgrade paths.
