--- Begin Message ---Package: ucf Version: 1.17 Severity: normal Dear Manoj, I just found out that ucf now allows to register the package that installed a file (there should probably be a hint to ucfr in ucf's manpage). However, I think this great news should be more exposed to the public. It is "hidden" in the first and third items of this changelog entry: ucf (2.009) unstable; urgency=low * Added a new script to query the data kept by ucf, including the package registry that ucfr maintains. * Bug fix: "ucf: Could provide a method to query changed state", thanks to Frank Küster (Closes: #342252). * Bug fix: "please add an option to list all ucf-managed files associated with a package", thanks to Marc Haber (Closes: #357837). I'm sure that I did read this changelog entry - I quickly skimmed it as usual. However, your habit to use the subject line of the original bug report makes it hard to quickly find out that - this is actually an important new thing, and - that it requires changing maintainer scripts to make use of it. Maybe, instead of changing the format of the changelog items, it would be better to put this in NEWS.Debian. I would also appreciate an explanation somewhere why this is not incorporated in standard ucf, but needs an additional call.

The package registry is documented in a manual page. Any enhancements to the manual page would be gratefully accepted. The ucf manual page now has a reference to ucfr and ucfq. I d not think, however, that this merits a NEWS file: the vast majority of users who install ucf do so since it is pulled in as a dependency, and they don't care a white about ucfr being added. The only people who might care are people who use ucf to manage configuration files, and that is a very small number. NEWS items should be relegated to important information that may affect the majority of installations; and this does not fit the bill. (Closes: #395011).
