I think Thijs meant the changelog entries 1.0.4-0ubuntu1 and 1.0.4-0ubuntu2, which are not in the .changes. Maybe it would be alright to say "Synchronize with Ubuntu (closes: #foo)" IF #foo is a "please synchronise with Ubuntu bug" (similar to a "new upstream version available" bug) AND you include the relevant Ubuntu changelog entries in the changes via dpkg-buildpackage -vlastversionbeforeubuntuchanges. Otherwise, elaborate on which bug gut fixed exactly and/or mention which Ubuntu changes are still present. Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
