I personally have no idea how release team will handle this. > You could push your uscan changes into an 'experimental' branch in our > git repository if you want. While this would also have been a possibility I now followed previous advise and use git://git.debian.org/git/users/tille/devscripts.git > Before merging your changes into the master branch after the release of > wheezy, I like to see test cases to demonstrate the correct functioning. > Adding test cases is extra work in the beginning, but will pay off > later. devscripts comes with an growing test suite in tests/. The test > suite uses shunit2. While I agree that having such test cases would be nice I admit that I do not feel fit for this and would need help. I'm testing my changes for uscan by migrating Debian Med teams get-orig-source scripts to the files-excluded method and verify that the result will remain the same (or even more reasonable if the get-orig-script was not optimal.) > There is currently one test for uscan, but this is an online test.

Thanks for the hint, but I hope for the help of others to follow this advise.
