Package: devscripts Version: 2.26.7 Hi!
I'm at a "packaging best practice" workshop at MiniDebConf Hamburg. I observed the speaker recommending that everyone start by installing the following packages: devscripts, git-buildpackage, sbuild, mmdebstrap. Indeed this is best practice. It strikes me however that this step shouldn't be necessary, and available by default in one step for any new contributor. Depending on your view, either: 1) `apt install devscripts` should be sufficient, picking up everything that isn't a strict dependency via Recommends; or 2) perhaps devscripts isn't the right package, but there should be some metapackage that has this effect. Would you be willing to accept to add git-buildpackage, sbuild and mmdebstrap to Recommends in devscripts and then continue updating this as best practice changes, in addition to things that are Recommends as the result of specific scripts? >From a quick scan I believe this would also fix bugs 1087427, 1081839 and 1053755 but I have not verified this. Thanks, Robie
