Hi,

while updating menu-cache to 0.3.3 on Fedora and had a look at the
changes at http://blog.lxde.org/?p=925 and thought: "WTF?!" Half of the
changes only affects Debian packaging. IHMO this shouldn't even be in
our git.

Please let me explain: Development happens upstream, packaging is a
downstream effort. We need to separate generic source code from
distribution specific packaging. There is no use in having distribution
specific information like changelogs in our upstream source code
repositories. Our tarballs should be distribution-agnostic.

If we really want to have this *packaging* information in our *source*
code repository, the 'debian' folder should be renamed to somethign like
'debian-unofficial' because otherwiese it will clash with the real
'debian' directory created by packaging.

Kind regards,
Christoph
