Yes, sounds good! > - if it's an Ubuntu (-0ubuntuX) package and no previous modifications > has been done, adding a patch system is preferred I must admit that I usually don't introduce patch systems there (as I don't like these too much *g*). However I guess that's a case-by-case decision: Adding a patch system for a one-line change seems like overkill to me. OTOH a patch system can help if you have several changes, which target different bugs, because you can then split these in separate patches which targetting one bug. Cheers, Stefan.
