Hi,
I'd like my em8300 package's dependencies to say something like "If you
use udev, I'd recommend you use at least 0.060-1." (since specific rules
for the em8300 drivers were added in that release, tahnks to Marco
d'Itri).
Unfortunately, the package system certainly can't guess whether udev

Hi,
[ Hmmm, looks like my mailer ate my message... :-( ]
For a package of mine, I need to remove a non-free file from every
upstream tarball. Doing it by hand is certainly suboptimal, and I
might forget to do it.
I thought about using uscan, with a hand-made script instead of the
common uupda
