This is all understandable, but with option #1 the changelog entry "Ack NMU, thanks NMUer" seems to be nothing more than a simple acknowledgment that the maintainer confirms the changes made by the NMU. Not doing it has the same effect if the new release is based on the NMU anyway. I mean, if the maintainer is basing the new release on the NMU, there is an implicit assumption that the NMU has been ACK'ed and this changelog entry is more or less redundant. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
