In many cases is only reason for repacking. I'm not sure which approach is technically best, but "Files-Excluded stanza in d/copyright *without* warranting a "~repack" suffix" seam to be easiest and totally acceptable for me. Of course if git-import-orig would ignore upstream .gitignore file it would be even better. best regards mira _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
