Please use your connections with IBM to apply the spelling fixes upstream. Every divergence we keep on the Debian side needs to be justified as they are a pain to rebase on a new release. The same is obviously true of the error-manpages diff as well, but that was already there. I'd appreciate if IBM could look through the patches if anything could be done to get them upstream so that we can carry less of a delta. The other changes are fine to me if there's no change to the actual package output except descriptions and build output. Did you test the resulting package on an actual s390 machine on *Debian*? I'm a bit surprised about the explicit addition of the hardening flags, given that none of the binaries is suid nor a network daemon. So we could just follow the distro-default here. But I'm not too bothered by it. Kind regards and thanks Philipp Kern
