[Bug 1987340] Re: Please merge lvm2 2.03.16-1 from Debian unstable.

[Dave Jones]

I'm afraid the removal of colons in LP: entries of the changelog is a
deliberate tactic by maintainers to prevent launchpad from inadvertently
marking things closed when it shouldn't (theoretically, this shouldn't
happen if things are targetted correctly to the relevant releases, but
this isn't always the case).

On the subject of basing the branch on salsa, I'm not sure how that
could work given I'd need to be working with a repo containing two
remotes, one the git-ubuntu import (needed to do the initial split
because the delta isn't necessarily a monolithic commit; it can consist
of several ubuntu versions), and the second from salsa. But the latter's
main/master branch cannot match the git-ubuntu import's commit as the
commits in the former are generated from the packaging archive.

It would be possible to cherry-pick the rebased delta onto a chosen
salsa commit, but that wouldn't affect the output of range-diff, so I'm
not seeing how it would improve the ability to review the merge?
