Comment 15 for bug 898003

Hi Whoopie

As discussed in #ubuntu-devel:

1) You should make contact with the Debian Maintainer - at some point in time they are going to hit the same problem and you have made alot of packaging changes with this update - we need to ensure that this is a delta and not a permanent fork because he disagrees with the way we have done things re packaging and approach.

2) Documentation; as you have done quite a bit of packaging change and altered the way the orig.tar.gz is created this really needs documenting both in the changelog and in debian/README.source,watch so that if some else touches this in the future they can follow the same processes. Also worth noting why the -source package is being dropped -most people won't look in the bug report.

I think that trying to keep and approach+packaging inline with Debian but using a different upstream version/source is the best way forwards in this case.
