These you should ask the maintainers about. I think it's OK to put the changes in SVN, but not to upload to the archive. >I'd like to get some input on whether this is useful or considered >meddling in someone else's packages. > >What about other kind of cleanup operations (e.g. while searching I >found a couple of control files that grep-dctrl had issues with due to >spaces being present on lines that should be blank, packages that seem >to be in both repositories, etc)? It's no issue to fix things so the package is in the right repository. For other things it depends if the team is maintainer or uploader.
