The ‘Vcs-Foo’ field can point to a branch that is the Debian packaging only, that's fine. I presume you're using ‘bzr-buildpackage’ or the like, to merge the original source archive with the Debian packaging? That just needs to be in a ‘get-orig-source’ target, to get the upstream VCS version to an original source archive. Documenting the use of ‘bzr-buildpackage’ (or whatever) in ‘debian/README.Debian-source’ would be good too. -- \ “I do not believe in immortality of the individual, and I | `\ consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no | _o__) superhuman authority behind it.” —Albert Einstein, letter, 1953 | Ben Finney <b...@benfinney.id.au>
