Yes, you are right, but this is okay. A new source code release upstream requires a new source upload anyway (okay, if they distribute arch dep parts seperately, there is no real requirement for this, but I still think its the cleanest solution to consider the whole thing source and all arch dep parts as one source). If you donīt mind the additional upload (or two), this would be the best way to do it, IMHO. bye, marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
