Hi. It looks like the elpa-gnuplot-mode package is missing some of the debiany emacs machinery: the files in
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/... Somebody should look at the packaging, and figure out what we're missing and add it. Likely it's just a line or two somewhere. Nicholas: I'd be delighted if you fix this. Thanks for stepping up! I don't think you need to do any NMUs to become a DD. Those happen when a package needs to be fixed, but its maintainer is not available for whatever reason (NMU = non-maintainer upload). And until you're a DD you can't upload anything yourself anyway. You should work on the issue, and when you're done, let me know. I'll take a look, and then I can do the upload for you. The location of this package is a historical artifact. It was originally team-maintained in collab-maint. Then when it was converted (as it turns out unsuccessfully) to a debian elpa-... package, it was moved to the emacs team (by changing the Maintainer field). But we didn't move the repo. I'd rather leave it where it is: there's little downside to leaving it, and if we do move it, there're a lot of little things that could be messed up, and then we'd have to fix them. It's not worth the effort, I think. Feel free to add yourself to the Uploaders, if you want to. dima
