I handle emacs using git-dpm, which automatically manages the patches, and there's the added complication of the DFSG split. The dpm managed branches are deb/emacs/d/DIST/master deb/emacs/d/DIST/upstream deb/emacs-non-dfsg/d/DIST/master deb/emacs-non-dfsg/d/DIST/upstream e.g. deb/emacs/d/sid/master deb/emacs/d/sid/upstream deb/emacs-non-dfsg/d/sid/master deb/emacs-non-dfsg/d/sid/upstream And all tags are in deb/emacs/v/ deb/emacs-non-dfsg/v/ Incorporating a new upstream release is somewhat complicated, mostly due to the split and the related review of incoming changes, though it's notably easier than it was when we had versioned emacsXY packages. In any case, thanks for the offer to help, and I'd be more than happy to have help, but for 26.3 I'm more or less ready. We just have to wait for the 26.1+1-4 release to migrate to testing and then I can finish up and upload. I'd imagine that might be later this week since I uploaded -4 with urgency=high.
