Dear maintainer,

During a test rebuild for building packages with
`Rules-Requires-Root: no` as the default in `dpkg`,
chiark-utils failed to rebuild.

Hi,

I think the attached patch should solve it. Though, please review it carefully, since I am seeing some surprising delta. Such as git- branchmove.1 being added to the diff, which I think is a bug in the original packaging. Additionally 'debian/chiark-backup/conffiles' is removed, which I do not understand and it looks kind of bad. I have filtered out both of these in the attached debdiff.


I think I understand the `conffiles` one now. I added `dh_clean` since `debian/.debhelper` was not cleaned up. However, `dh_clean` removes that folder. That is trivially solvable. However, it does not answer the `git-branchmove.1` part, and ...

Like with authbind, this might be overdue for a packaging rewrite. Let me know if you are interested in that.

Best regards,
Niels


The answer to this affects how we go about it.

Best regards,
Niels
