This works fairly well these days: use Files-Excluded: in d/copyright and "dversionmangle=s/\+ds\d*$//,repacksuffix=+ds" in d/watch. Tools like gbp, uscan, origtargz seems to do the right thing automatically. > So given all this, the point I wanted to make was: I'd like to watch your > videos if you make them.

Yes please! There are so many details (library transitions? non-dfsg files? experimental->sid migration? go reverse-rebuilds? etc) that are not well documented. I have my own big README with various workflow commands but I deal with packages following perhaps 10+ different styles today, and I try to respect the traditional style used in a package. /Simon
