Let me do some reality chack under squeeze. debhelper 8.0.0 /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Sequence/python_support.pm python 2.6.6-3+squeeze7 python: /usr/share/man/man1/dh_python2.1.gz python: /usr/bin/dh_python2 > Neither python-support nor dh_python2 are a strong requirement. Let's see if they are available: dh-python non-existing package as wheezy dh_python2 is available in python package python-support 1.0.10 I see I can use dh_python2 or python_support. > Sure the debdiff will mean nothing but as long as you tested that an > upgrade works, and that the package still runs, it's good enough IMO. Since dh_python2 is available, "--with python2" as in wheezy package seems most natural choice. Available debhelper is 8.0.0 -> compat=8 is OK. wheezy package had "Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9)". This needs change. "Standards-Version: 3.9.4" maybe too new but keep is as is. Si I should change "getmail4 (4.46.0-1~deb7u1) wheezy-security" as: * Version: 4.46.0-1~deb6u1 change * target: squeeze-security change * compat: 8 keep * Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 8) change Looks like it is not so complicated :-) Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
