Since some weeks ago the Debian maintainer uploaded a new version I merge it. Looking at the changelog seems a bugfix release, anyway I'm using it for a week and all is fine.

I hope I can hear a response from the release team soon.

Now that trusty is over and we are in the utopic cycle, I submit the xscreenserver merge for utopic. Attached there are the same previous debdiff targeted to utopic.

Hey Mattia,

there are a few nitpicks with this, and I figure as you are an aspiring MOTU I'd rather tell you about them than just fixing them.

 * The package has a Vcs-Bzr:, thus merges should be done against that branch. However, as it seems the desktop team pretty much lost interest in this and the last few commits were just retroactively committed, I'm actually in favor of reverting the Vcs-* change, leave Debian's git, and drop our ubuntu specific Vcs branch.

 * The extra or changed Replaces: were only necessary for earlier upgrades, that delta can be reverted now that trusty is out.

 * Since xscreensaver has not been installed on ubuntu/kubuntu/etc. for a long time, and is only being used in Mythbuntu and Ubuntustudio, I wonder whether the rather intrusive change for moving some screen savers between packages is still necessary. Perhaps you can ping the leads of these two derivatives to check whether we can drop this?

 * I suppose debian/xscreensaver.dirs isn't necessary, I'm fairly sure that the "make install" bits will create directories by themselves. (That needs to be double-checked of course)

Thanks!

Ok, so:

    * I reverted the changes to the Vcs-* fields
    * I reverted the changes to the splits
    * given the above, I removed the old Breaks/Replaces fileds and put a new set.

The d/xscreensaver.dirs is necessary per bug #129769.

I hope all is fine, especially the new Breaks/Replaces fileds!
(maybe the changelog is bad writted, I couldn't find anything better...)

Thanks Martin for the review!

Thanks! I'll rearrange the changelog a bit to split between "dropped Ubuntu changes" and "remaining Ubuntu changes", as putting the former into the latter section is confusing. But this looks so much cleaner now.

This bug was fixed in the package xscreensaver - 5.26-1ubuntu1

---------------
xscreensaver (5.26-1ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=low

  * Dropped Ubuntu changes:
    - Ubuntu delta to the screensavers sets.
    - Keep Debian Vcs-* links instead of the ~ubuntu-desktop team bzr
      repository: the Desktop team does not have interest any more.
    - The Ubuntu changes to the descriptions.
  * Merge from Debian unstable. (LP: #1283459) Remaining changes:
    - debian/control:
      + Breaks/Replaces: the old changes are not needed anymore, but the
        new changes the screensavers sets needs it.
    - debian/rules:
      + Use /usr/share/backgrounds as image directory.
      + Add translation domain to .desktop files.
    - debian/source_xscreensaver.py:
      + Add apport hook.
    - debian/xscreensaver.dirs:
      + Install /usr/share/backgrounds. By default, settings search in
        /usr/share/backgrounds and without it, it displays an error.
    - debian/patch/90_ubuntu-branding.patch: Use Ubuntu branding.
    - debian/patches/60_sequential_glslideshow.patch:
      + Allow going through images sequentially rather than just at random in
        the GLSlideshow hack.
