Either ship a useful changelog in the upstream tarball or don't ship a less than useful changelog in the Debian binary package. lintian is only informational (especially at pedantic level), ignore its warnings if they are not useful. For upstream projects I personally use git2cl or similar at `make distcheck` time to generate a useful ChangeLog for inclusion in the upstream tarball. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

My google-fu is failing me. I'd like to get rid of the override.

This is the wrong approach: you cannot rely on the orig tarball being in ../ - also what would happen in case you have various orig tarballs there? eg. I use pbuilder, hence my tarballs are in ~/debian/tarballs… Why not simply try and avoid i18n files to be updated or, even easier, make a copy of the original .pot file and restore it in clean? Also, your package still doesn't use dh_python2 (while not a *must*, I think it is the better thing to do). Cheers, Julien -- .''`.
