[Bug 493243] Re: Please merge debianutils 3.2.2 (main) from Debian testing (main)

[Colin Watson]

debianutils is certainly still a valid package. If none of the changes
that have been made to it apply any more, then it should be synced,
although not until these changes have been applied to sensible-utils
instead. The following are general comments on the merge which may be
useful anyway.

I'm having trouble making sense of your changelog. You mention removal
of references to mkboot which does not actually appear to be the case
(and wasn't mentioned in previous changelog entries). Similarly your
comment about tempfile.1 doesn't match the diff (unless you made a
change on top of the merge, in which case you should describe it outside
the "Remaining changes" section). Furthermore, you haven't mentioned the
addition of select-editor other than saying that it was added to
debian/control, which is arguably the most important remaining change.

"Removed .gitignore file" - this looks like a previous mistake, and it
doesn't make sense to keep this delta in the merge.

Is there any particular reason why you didn't simply copy the "Remaining
changes" section from the previous changelog, and edit from there? It
really looks like a much more correct description of what's been
changed.

In any case, I think select-editor probably does belong in sensible-
utils.
