Right, I forgot to remove this one. I'll fix it. Thanks for reporting. > 2) ChangeLog is not generated, and > dh_installchangelogs -a ChangeLog ChangeLog.old > fails. This one I saw already but it's generated by make dist. And the generated tarball is buildable. But I agree that it's annoying and put a work-around for this. > 3) Maybe a build-dep on git-core is warranted, due to the use of git log. No, the Build-Depends apply to the tarball generated by make dist and not to the clean git checkout. So this is not wanted.
