Since we are in deep freeze, we need approval from the release team
before we upload. For this to happen, we need:
* a release-critical bug; please file one ("monotone broken by new
release of SQLite" or something to that effect)
* a *minimal* diff between the current package and the proposed new
package; by minimal I mean that the diff must do exactly one thing
which is to fix the release-critical bug.
>From what I can tell, you updated the packaging to 0.48.1; this needs a
new .orig.tar.gz; I don't think the release team would approve of that
*unless* the diff between 0.48 and 0.48.1 contains only the bug fix.
If 0.48.1 already contains the bug fix, there is no need to also include
it in a Debian-specific patch.
Therefore, please choose one of the two approaches below:
* add the bug fix as a Debian-specific patch but keep the base version
at 0.48
or
* package 0.48.1 with a new .orig.tar.gz and no Debian-specific patch
for the bug fix.
