[Bug 329298] Re: Please upgrade to Gnucash 2.2.9

[Loïc Martin]

Saïvann: the diff.gz is the only thing necessary on an upgrade bug
report. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Sponsorship/SponsorsQueue for
example.

Particularly, uploading an orig.tar.gz would be a security risk, since
the uploader could just have put whatever he wants in it - that's why
our packaging have to apply to an upstream tarball. That's also what the
watch file is about please read the changelog:  * [debian/watch]: create
watch file.).

As for patches, it's common practice not to remove them, even though
they can be removed sometimes - in this case they can be removed when we
sync with Debian. Since I'm not the maintainer, I chose to do as little
modifications as possible (since we're hopefully going to sync with
Debian someday). All in all, they won't raise any conflicts in a merge
report. In that case, they don't do any harm. On the other hand, I
removed the patches that were applied directly to the source.

If you have questions about packaging, feel free do drop on #ubuntu-motu
