This is explicitly answered in [3] under prior-version: If the conffile has not been shipped for several versions, and you are now modifying the maintainer scripts to clean up the obsolete file, prior-version should be based on the version of the package that you are now preparing, not the first version of the package that lacked the conffile. This applies to all other actions in the same way. -nik >[3] >https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/dpkg/dpkg-maintscript-helper.1.en.html

a proposal to update the abcm2ps package
Hi, This is more an exercise to teach how to deal with Debian packaging and with Salsa. I am not yet in contact with its DM, Anselm Lingnau, and neither with the upstream authors. But being now more familiar with git and git-buildpackage (thanks Guido!), I have started to work on updating the abcm2ps package: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/abcm2ps that does not have any Debian VCS. And so here is the current work available at Salsa on my guest account: https://salsa.debian.org/Peutch-guest/abcm2ps Also it seems that there is a way to 'mirror' the origin github that is there: https://github.com/leesavide/abcm2ps/ Is it desired? required? I am a bit lost between the old, the current and the close future good/best practices regarding package maintenance even focusing on the https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging resources. So any feedback on this work is welcome. Cheers, Patrice

I DO believe (myself) that this will help others to find what they are looking for. Please continue, if you find any Debian doc that needs some touch up. Thanks again
