Indeed, and it’s the only sane way to manage a large number of packages with a large number of uploaders. > there's no debian/README.source documenting that you actually need to edit > debian/control.in instead of the usual convention of editing debian/control to > make changes. There’s a README.Debian. Do you expect its contents to be copypasta’ed to all GNOME source packages?
