For the record, the freeze policy intentionally requests that debdiffs be attached to the bug report. There's no guarantee that what's currently at that people.d.o location will be there at any future point, or match what's currently there; it also doesn't really work for people reading mail offline. > I also removed a few patches > in debian/patches that were not used and may have been misleading. That makes the debdiff very noisy. :-( But yes, 0009-rebased-patch-queue.patch is not particularly helpful. > Again, how should I upload the package? (The libguestfs package in > unstable is at 1.18.6-1, so I can't just upload to unstable.) I'm not sure I understand the question. The changelog has +libguestfs (1:1.18.1-1wheezy1) testing; urgency=low so the package won't go to unstable. You just upload to ftp-master as usual. In line with the versioning policy described in the Developers Reference (with a slight modification we aim to have documented there soon), we'd prefer a version of "1:1.18.1-1+deb7u1" though.
