Yes although only some Debian maintainers, someone in Ubuntu asked someone in Debian what they'd want done and the result was a request to change the Maintainer field. Our tooling now requires this to be done so it's not really an option. > > The Kubuntu solution could end up hiding some abi breakage, which, in > > Debian, we would prefer to expose. Don't .symbols files expose that? Bumping the build-dep versions is a workaround for Launchpad not being as clever as Debian's build daemons in working out the yet-to-be-updated build-depends packages. I'm still skeptical that 1 branch is less faff than having two branches which merge from each other but we can try it and see. Starting with KArchive and other Tier 1 parts of Frameworks seems the way to start. How do we sign up for accounts on git.debian.org?
