I have just uploaded 2.9-2 including your patch. I have not included the part about moving to 3.0 source format. Sorry, but I need some time to study that carefully and I need to be confortable with the format before actually using it for the packages I maintain. [ I wonder if it is acceptable to change source format in a NMU at all ]. BTW: I have not closed the bug in the upload, as I'm not convinced that it's a bug in diffutils: If you write a program (dpkg-dev) which relies on the console output of another progam (diff), being that a dangerous thing, then you should be ready to change the first program whenever the console output of the second program changes. I also do not understand the blurb you included in the changelog for the NMU. Why can't we fix this in squeeze? We have Depends and Breaks. I guess some combination of that will work, unless there is something I'm missing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
