Can you be a bit more clear?

rs

why are we shipping debian packaging stuff as "documentation"?
debian packaging stuff shouldn't be part of upstream (debian guys don't
want upstreams to do that) and thus it shouldn't end up in our packages
either.....


I see...a few pkgers keep the debian stuff around in their git trees so they
can re-pkg for debian as well, and sometimes, they pkg the Debian changelog
or copyright within Meego (e.g. sensorfw or libdsme or n900-camera-firmware)

but the changelog for the debian *package* is not very useful!
(as opposed to the changelog for the upstream source code)

and copyright should also really be in the upstream source.. not so much from a debian/ directory
