Oh. These are actually bugs in doxygen/1.7.3-5 (I think?) which affected these packages. What actually has to happen here is the bugs need to be reassigned to doxygen, merged, then marked as found and fixed in the appropriate versions, and then marked as affecting the original package. The preceding control instructions do this. Thanks for the explanation! I didn't knew of the affects command.

dbconfig-common; repacking source
Hi there, currently i try to get my typo3 packages into shape, so the new version gets accepted by ftp-masters. There is a problem with modules, that are embedded into the upstream tar-ball, but do not get distributed with the binary packages (they get replaced by symlinks to debian-packages). ftpmasters require that these licenses get included into the copyright file. I want to avoid this, because the modules dont find their way to the enduser. Is it ok, that i name the package +dfsg and remove those unneeded parts from the source tar-ball during a repacking step? Second problem: i have to rename typo3-dummy to typo3-dummy-common. This package uses dbconfig-common. Is there a best/preferred way to migrate the user config to the new package without forcing the user to reenter his credentials? -- MfG, Christian Welzel GPG-Key: http://www.camlann.de/de/pgpkey.html Fingerprint: 4F50 19BF 3346 36A6 CFA9 DBDC C268 6D24 70A1 AD15 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Of course, you need to build-depends on it. Also, it'd be great if you were trying to have your package team-maintained. Please join the PHP PKG team and help, rather than working on your side only, and have your PEAR package sent to the Git repository on Alioth (in /git/pkg-php there's already quite a bunch of PEAR modules...). Besides that, I don't think you need debian/dirs, and debian/README.Debian doesn't document anything useful. Last, why did you choose GPL-3+ for your packaging work, when upstream has chosen a more relaxed BSD 2 clause?
