Hi Steffen, yes, we can add the build/ directories to the Files-Excluded field. If the Debian upstream version has +dfsg in it, then the Version 5 uscan template will automatically remove the files. And I am fine to have +dfsg regarless files are really removed or not. > And I think we can prefill debian/upstream/metadata with registry entries in > conda and bio.tools (for BioConductor). That would be nice. In my experience, the main slowers for the transition are 1) patches that need a refresh and 2) vendored libraries. We are caught in the HDF5 transition to their new major release and it is no fun. Also I tried to unvendor the htslib and failed because it is patched on the Bioconductor side. I think that we should go for 1) move forward with vendored versions by default and 2) unvendor on a case-by-case basis between BioC transitions. This will open the path to further automation of the packaging process.
