Bug#751480: debian-keyring: Distribute recent version via stable-updates

2014-06-13 Thread Simon Hollenbach
Package: debian-keyring
Version: 2013.04.21
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,
At debian-u...@lists.debian.org, it was discussed
  [ https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2014/06/msg00856.html ff]
that the current linux source package for wheezy could not be verified using
  $ dpkg-source -x linux[...]
It was suggested on list to wish for a recent d-k to be distributed via
stable-updates, which I am hereby doing. If there is something I can
help with to make this possible, please let me know.

Best regards,
Simon Hollenbach

Hi,

I would even argue in the opposite way :) The debian-keyring package
is not always updated when we upload a new keyring, and it's a
never-dying source of confusion. Given we have a public Git tree,
which is up-to-date with the live keyring, I guess that should suffice
— And maybe distributing the package as a static thing never to be
updated is no longer useful.
