Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.64
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

debsnap's manpage says the reason it insists the destination directory
doesn't exist yet is "to avoid files being accidentally overwritten by
what is fetched from the archive".  However:

if (-d $destdir) {
    if ($force_actions) {
        my $verbose = 1 if $config_vars{DEBSNAP_VERBOSE} eq 'yes';
        remove_tree($destdir, { verbose => $verbose });
        mkdir($destdir);
    }
    else {
        fatal "Destination dir $destdir already exists.\nPlease (re)move it 
first, or use --force to overwrite.";
    }
}
else {
    mkdir($destdir);
}

This deletes the destination directory and all its contents, even though
nothing in there might have been "accidentally overwritten".  This is
utterly insane, and severely undocumented.

Good thing all I've lost (AFAIK...) are git trees that are mirrored on
git.d.o...

Cheers,
Julien

 .
   [ James Vega ]
   * Remove mergechanges from the set of commands which use completion of
     package names.  (Closes: #578167)
   * bts:
     + Use sendmail to send mails with extra headers when $(DEB)EMAIL aren't
       present.  (Closes: #577564)
     + Document that $(DEB)EMAIL must be in the environment to send email using
       either --mutt or --smtp-host.  (Closes: #578334)
     + Cleanup the help output and add some options which were only documented
       in the man page.
     + Allow specifying multiple tag modifiers (+, -, =) in one tag stanza.
       (Closes: #578118)
     + Document the valid values for the status key in the select command.
       (Closes: #583067)
   * debsnap:
     + Iterate over the list of files listed for a hash until we find one that
       matches the requested package.  (Closes: #584734)
     + Warn and move on to the next file if no files are present for a given
       hash or none match the requested package.  (Closes: #587265)

       #587517)
   * Remove --ignore-dirname options (and deprecation notices) from all

     destination directory when “debian/patches/” doesn't exist.  (Closes:
     #552693)

     packages which are already installed.  (Closes: #563390)
   * debcheckout: Specifically call out that Debian hosts are already handled
     in DEBCHECKOUT_AUTH_URLS' description.  Thanks to martin f. krafft for the
     suggested wording.  (Closes: #530581)
   * debchange: When running “dch -r”, use <dist>-backports if a backports
     upload is detected.  (Closes: #588502)
   * uupdate: Use “0ubuntu1” for the Debian revision of the version number when
     running uupdate on Ubuntu systems.  Based on a patch by Guillaume Martres.
     (Closes: #577998)
   * Ship French man pages in UTF-8 now that #196762 is fixed.

     + Detect use of exponentiation.

     + Detect use of command with options other than “-p”.
     + Fix a false positive with redirection to an fd specified via a variable.
     + Detect unexpected EOF for unclosed heredocs, quoted strings, and line

 .
   [ Simon McVittie ]
