Hi all,
I've created debs for oroborus windowmanager and some of its utilities,
(http://indigo.ie/~fowler/oroborus). On the oroborus home page there is also
a list of themes that I'd like to bunfle into an oroborus-extra-themes package.
The problem is the each theme is presented on the orob

Some time in the past year, debian-changelog-mode has stopped
working for me. I have dpkg-dev-el v. 1.10-1 installed, and `mode:
debian-changelog' at the bottom of the affected changelog files. I
use emacs19, v.19.34-26.5.
I can't find any documentation in the dpkg-dev-el package.

uupdate uses debchange. You can use the DEBEMAIL environment variable
(man debchange for more).

Hi!
How is log files purged when a package is removed using --purge?
The only control files I can see that influence log files, is logrotate. If
I put a rm -f ... in postrm, it's not what I want either since then it'll
remove the logs with a --remove as well.
Should I just leave logs lying aroun
