Package: org-mode
Version: 8.3.2-1
Severity: normal
Exporting as ODT does not work, because org-odt-data-dir is set by default
to /usr/share/emacs/etc/org, while the relevant files are installed in
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org-mode/etc/styles/
Either org-odt-data-dir should be set to the latter directory, or the files
installed in the former.

Closes: 809931
Changes:
org-mode (9.8.6+dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* No longer exclude schema and other supporting files. In Bug #809931,
upstream indicates that the expectation is that we will ship an
equivalently full-featured package to theirs, and the implication is
that a newer version of org-mode should provide these additional
support files because it is plausible that they did not exist at the
time an old version of org-mode was bundled with Emacs. Meanwhile, if
OpenDocument-schema-v1.3+libreoffice.rnc and
OpenDocument-schema-v1.3.rnc are in fact non-dfsg, then our emacs-common
has a release-critical bug, because it provides them.
* Exclude .gitignore which makes Debian patch management painful.
* Drop elpa-org.postinst, which has not been needed since oldoldstable
--or even earlier.
* Drop org-mode.maintscript, because it has been more than long
enough since elpafication that no one will have org-mode files in
/etc/emacs/site-start.d.
* Install csl, schema, and styles to the elpa-package-specific,
Debian Emacs Policy-compliant location similarly to how upstream does.
* Go one step further than upstream and make it work out of the box
by providing a sensible default value for org-odt-data-dir using
0002-Use-elpa-dir-for-org-odt-data-dir.patch (Closes: #809931).
* New upstream release.
