I remove the upstream debian/ directory because the program that create the diff.gz (dpkg-deb ?) does not record *removal* of files [1]. It only record changes. And I need to remove some files... A workaround can be to add 'rm debian/....' in the 'clean' and 'configure' target of debian/rules but I think it is a lot clearer with a new upstream tarball without debian/ directory. Best regards, Vincent [1] I think it is a feature so that, for example, if a pdf is provided in the upstream sources, it can be recreated and removed in the build/clean targets without bother to save the original one. And I think this is a good feature. -- Vincent Danjean GPG key ID 0x9D025E87 [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG key fingerprint: FC95 08A6 854D DB48 4B9A 8A94 0BF7 7867 9D02 5E87 Unofficial pacakges: http://www-id.imag.fr/~danjean/deb.html#package APT repo: deb http://perso.debian.org/~vdanjean/debian unstable main -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
