[Bug 948191] Re: Please remove prevu from precise

[a7x]

(Sorry for the accidental double post yestderday!)

I need to amend the above information:  If you're running ubuntu-dev-
tools 0.142 or newer, you'll want to pass the (undocumented as of 0.142)
--dont-sign option to backportpackage.


I'm not criticizing the removal of prevu; now that I know that backportpackage exists and that it's a better option, I'd much rather use it than prevu.  I just became worried when the only easy backporting option I knew of vanished.  I don't want others to experience that.

What would you think about resurrecting the prevu package, but modify it
so that all it does is print an informative message to stderr and exit
with a non-zero return code?  Perhaps I'll open a new bug report for
that and work on it myself, but I'll need someone else to upload the
package.
