Likewise, I don't see why you would want to start over. You'd lose potentially useful changelog information. For example, if you're wondering why something was done a certain way in the package, it might be listed in the changelog. Plus, packages that started in Ubuntu obviously have some interest there. As they're downstream of Debian, changes will be copied in at least one direction, but quite probably both. Retaining history can be very useful in these efforts. Finally, I think it's generally distaseful to remove the record of someone else's work for no good reason. Richard
