Hi Joachim,
I'm now extensively using your reimplementation of Files-Excluded. I
agree that your principle of "least surprise" is reasonable and thus I'm
fine that the version of the tarball is not automatically appended by
the string '+dfsg' (as it was in my implementation). However, good
packaging practices say that you should add something to a repackaged
tarball which reflects that there was a change to follow DFSG and I
personally do not think that it is a good idea to have two files with
the same name but different content (the original + the stripped
tarball). Having two files with same name but different content does
not fit the "least surprise" principle in my eyes. :-)
So what would be your suggestion to solve this issue to get some
appendix to the version number. I think editing each debian/watch
file an mangling names is a bit clumsy.
Any suggestion?
Kind regards
Andreas.
