When working with NMUs, you can either 1) Incorporate the NMU changelog entries before your new changelog entry 2) Include a separate section in your new changelog entry which acknowledges the NMU-specific changes and the bugs that they fixed without including the NMU changelog entries. Either method is acceptable as far as the BTS is concerned. #1 means that your version is based on the previous NMU version. #2 means that your version is not based on the previous NMU version, but that the bugs that the NMU fixed are also fixed in your version. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com I shall require that [a scientific system's] logical form shall be such that it can be singled out, by means of empirical tests, in a negative sense: it must be possible for an empirical scientific system to be refuted by experience. -- Sir Karl Popper _Logic of Scientific Discovery_ ยง6 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
