[Bug 603582] Re: Please merge mdadm 2.7.1.1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

[Benjamin Drung]

Surbhi, here is a quick review:
1) "This merge should solve the bug: LP: #603582" doesn't say anything. Something like "Merge from Debian unstable" is more descriptive.
2) debian/changelog: It's not obvious what change was a "remaining change" and what was a new change introduces by you.
3) You have to check lintian to not introduce more warnings with your merge. For example syntax-error-in-debian-changelog and debian-changelog-line-too-long needs to get fixed.
4) debian/changelog: "debian/rules: kept the commit 388049ed6f5f76ac8e484dda8de80831ab66a8ab from debian git." doesn't describe the change.
5) Please give debian/patches/debian-changes-3.1.2-2ubuntu1 a new name and a proper DEP-3 header.
6) Please describe which Ubuntu changes can be dropped (either here or in debian/changelog).

Please resubscribe ubuntu-sponsors once you have addressed the points.
