Hummm... I think this smells like bureaucracy. If you are uploading Carlos' package, and he tagged it already as a team upload in your team's VCS, it could be a simple (without [ Person ] sections) changelog entry. After all, the .changes/.dsc are signed with your key, and the archive software can trace the uploader. Personally, I try not to modify the changelogs I sponsor if I don't do anything meaningful to the package. And I try not to do anything at all to the package besides reviewing and compiling it :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
