[Bug 811231] Re: Sync dkms 2.2.0.2-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

[Anders Kaseorg]

Ubuntu’s dkms 2.2.0.1-0ubuntu1 was uploaded independently of Debian’s
dkms 2.2.0.1-1, and the two .orig.tar.gzs are not bitwise-identical
(although the contents are identical if you extract them).  In
particular, Debian copied the pristine tarball from
http://linux.dell.com/dkms/, while Ubuntu’s tarball was recompressed 14
minutes later.  This prevents new releases of 2.2.0.1 from being synced;
they would have needed a fakesync instead.  Presumably that explains the
blacklist entry.

That should not prevent 2.2.0.2 from being synced, since we’re copying a
new .orig.tar.gz from Debian.

(When uploading new versions of dkms to Ubuntu in the future, please try
to always use pristine tarballs from upstream, in order to avoid this
problem.)
