I'm currently in the process of working my way through the current packaging, and there is quite a lot I am going to simplify. As the Debian build scripts do not expect this file to be autogenerated, I think it would be counterproductive to do so; it can seriously affect reproducability of builds. (actually, I would like to ask not to fix things in the Debian packaging that aren't broken, as providing an upgrade path for earlier versions will be a lot less painful then) Simon --------------enig95156C06CD37475F1B724A8E Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBQ3Du+VYr4CN7gCINAQKytwP9GtYGngfSLY4lNUWuuzaNhGKDTJ3aSW9b 40Iw6euIAIVm+iKk9Yah6+Ez1xDYyM6QGZvZpFFUC4+m+DiSMjzdR4as489Zic1x 5b1pfg5CHk83yndZzIQxvSInOMV53u7KctAZIe7IrCPkQpGzswV3o7e3ucXSWv1f QvPJbDxaVD4= =mRB1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig95156C06CD37475F1B724A8E--
