Hi,
I recently noticed that you recently uploaded an update for all
of the Tryton modules which are seemingly uploaded all at the
same time.
Whilst there is no danger of namespace collision, this seems a
little ugly and/or inefficient.
I was wondering whether you had considered moving all the
tryton-modules-* source packages to a a single source package
(tryton-modules) with multiple orig tarballs. This has been
supported in quilt for quite some time and would make this much
more elegant.

Yes, this was considered and discussed in depth quite some time ago with my AM
(Wouter), who had the same idea. After some tests it turned out that it is
still better (mainly for maintenance reasons) to stick with separate source
packages. While this is indeed ugly for package wide changes like major updates
of the Standards-Version it would afford a huge effort to adapt to single
changes of distinct packages (think at copyright etc.).
Long answer short: while it could be (probably) possible (at the time of
testing I couldn't even get it to work) it is simply out of scope of the
(unpaid) time I can invest for Tryton maintenance in Debian to do a single
source package setup *and* to adapt the whole tool chain to build all Tryton
series for the supported Debian releases (have a look at [1][2]).
So I am closing this bug, being currently the one and only maintainer. Please
feel free to re-open in case you want someone other than me catch up with the
topic.
Cheers,
Mathias
