[Bug 595609] Re: Please merge filtergen 0.12.4-5 (universe) from Debian testing (main)

[Bhavani Shankar]

Hello Bilal again!

Here is a review again:-

1.Point number 1 in my review of apt-cacher merge holds good here too

2. Why are you including reverted changes to the debian source in your
ubuntu version diff to make the diff large? Please remember this point
as stated in merges.ubuntu.com before submitting a diff:-

"Try and keep the diff small, this may involve manually tweaking po
files and thelike."

3. I see no real reason for merging as there is only a maintainer and
homepage change and I dont see any significant changes apart from that
in the recent debian changelog and we can wait till debian releases a
new upstream release I think (please correct me if I am wrong):-

 filtergen  (0.12.4-5) unstable; urgency=low

   * New maintainer.  Closes: #543434.
   * Bump standards version:
     - Added Homepage field.

Also you can forward ubuntu changes to debian (via submittodebian in
ubuntu-dev-tools) to see if the debian maintainer is interested in
applying ubuntu changes so that we can keep the package in sync with the
debian archive which reduces merging workload.

Regards
