All this is a bit structured for maintainers with just a few

Please make sure, whatever alternate upload announcement format you design,
that it is machine-readable so that it can be used to (at least partially)

That raises an interesting question for me, my apologies if it's docuemented

What's the protocol for picking a directory to dump a new package in?

Commenting out the /etc/services entry is of course a very nasty way
of nixing syslog's usually-undesirable

What precisely does dchanges take as input ?
I wondered why you'd ask this, until I discovered that the
dchanges packages wasn't umong the packages I'd downloaded.
After some searching around on ftp.debian.org, I located
it in project/experimental.
Here's a copy.

copying of information from one place to another, with reformatting

Could be. I don't think I'm one of them. If I were doing that, it'd
be no concern of yours.

True, but that is a bug in the upstream version that I as the maintainer
can't do anything about but writing the man page myself.

On a newly created (though slightly fudged) debian system, I'm getting
the message:
dpkg: cannot scan updates directory `/var/lib/dpkg/updates/': No such file or
directory
when I try and use dpkg (-i or -C, for instance).
/var/lib/dpkg/updates/ exists and is empty.

I would like to see this happen also.
Umsdos booting is a big help to some occasional linux users.
Thanks,

I'll see if it will fit. I currently have the plain MS-DOS filesystem
included. The kernel is very close to maximum size, though.
Thanks

Just out of curiosity, does the following represent a horribly
formatted and human-unreadable package announcement? Except for
the lack of a Priority field, it passes the dchanges(1) syntax check.
