Hi Paul, Dmitry, >Paul Thank you very much for applying the patch. I apologize for my very late response. For your information, I would like to share with you my experimental and unofficial blktrace repo, where the original tarball is simply extracted and the debian directory is copied.
https://salsa.debian.org/dfukui/blktrace.git >Dmitry I appreciate you sharing the insight on how to handle the debian-only repo layout. As we discussed before, I'll keep the blktrace repo layout as it is since upstream blktrace doesn't get many releases.
