Package: bugs.debian.org Severity: normal Hi,
when a binary package changes from one source package to another one (i.e. when two source packages are merged or when transitional packages are generated by the new source package) the BTS still seems to attribute the binary package to the maintainer of the old source package despite it says that it belongs to the new source packags. Example: zsh-beta Versions up to 4.3.17-dev-0+20120621-1 are from the zsh-beta source package maintained by Clint Adams, versions starting at 5.0.2-3 are transitional packages built from the zsh source package, maintained by the Debian Zsh Maintainers team. Example bug: http://bugs.debian.org/708106 To preserve the current view (which may change soon when the zsh-beta source package is removed from Sid), here's the text as shown currently (underlining added for pointing out the relevant parts): Debian Bug report logs - #708106 zsh-beta: unowned directories in /usr/local after purge (policy 6.8 and 9.1.2): /usr/local/share/zsh-beta/site-functions/ Package: zsh-beta; Maintainer for zsh-beta is Clint Adams <cl...@debian.org>; Source for zsh-beta is src:zsh. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ Reported by: Andreas Beckmann <a...@debian.org> Date: Mon, 13 May 2013 09:06:02 UTC Severity: normal Found in version zsh/5.0.2-3 ^^^ The bug report seems to have been sent to the wrong maintainer, too, at least I didn't get that bug report (c.f. http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-zsh-devel/2013-May/thread.html) and just noticed it via the piuparts website.
