I will answer with some questions before I publish a changed package. I will fix the original tarball issue. I used an equivalent but different .orig.tar.gz for -2 (compared to -1), but dput didn't upload the new .orig.tar.gz. I have fixed the menu entry, and I am now using the category Applications/Technical ; this is the best approximation I could find. I have also removed the last sentence in the long package description. Thanks for the pointers on these. For the changelog, I have no non-packaging changes to describe. I propose using just this draft (with updated timestamp later on, and for the version, see below) - --- dragbox (0.2.5-2) unstable; urgency=low * Added a debian menu entry and removed unnecessary reference to man page in package description. * Close ITP (closes: #452982) -- Ulrik Sverdrup <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mon, 26 Nov 2007 15:13:58 +0100 - --- Now, however, I wonder if I should bump the dash version further for the updated changes. Should the fixed package be version -3, or am I allowed to keep it at -2 (or even -1?). This is the main reason why I don't want to publish a changed package yet.
