Well, for complicated cases (like ffmpeg, where we have to fight with svn:externals, external svn servers etc) it is very helpful to have such a rule. Espc. if some user objects with some of the modifications and needs to apply changes to it in order to get a slightly modified package. I think this is a valid usecase for shipping a debian/rules target that mimics 'apt-get source' (which cannot know what modifications have been done to the source). -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
