Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.23
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/debchange
The current release includes two changes in debchange regarding the way
NMUs are handled, but of which I find highly questionable.
+ Set urgency=high if NMU and no other urgency set
This is the most questionable change as it invites abuse of urgency.
An urgency of high is only appropriate for NMUs that fix RC bugs, but by
far not all NMUs are for RC bugs. For all other NMUs, the priority should
be the default: low.
IMO low should be the default set by debchange as if anything NMU's
should be tested in unstable longer rather than shorter. Having a higher
default violates the principle of least surprise.
It should just be up to NMUers of RC bugs to set the priority correctly
for their uploads.
+ Set to NMU if packager is neither in Uploaders nor Maintainer
This has already proven to be incorrect for me today in two cases.
- Team maintained D-I packages are frequently uploaded by a team member
who's not listed as Uploader, mostly in the case of pre-release
uploads for translation updates. These uploads are not NMUs.
- I wanted to do a testbuild for a patch for wireless-tools and ran dch to
increase the version number so I could later run debdiff to get the
patch. As the intention is not to NMU the package, having that set in the
changelog is just silly.
For these reasons I don't think the new behavior should be default.
Cheers,
FJP
