[Bug 1815684] Re: [SRU] Please accept zeroc-ice to supported releases

[Simon Quigley]

Hello José, thanks for adjusting the bug description. Everything looks
good there.

I was reviewing your debdiffs when I saw that a lot of Debian changes
were rolled in here. While most of these changes I would consider
acceptable for a stable release update, they should be documented in the
bug description as well. All of the changes made should be strictly
necessary, and e.g. the copyright http -> https change, while that is
absolutely best practice and you should make that change in the current
development release, I would not say it is necessary for an SRU.

I'm unsubscribing sponsors for now; sorry for the time it took to get
back to you on this. I really hope we can drive this to completion.

Thanks!
