In fact, I would be suprised if our Stable Release Managers were to refuse updates of such data packages.

I don't know the process for getting a package qualified to be considered under the squeeze-updates policy, but that sounds like what you (and/or the DD who sponsors your uploads of this package) want to look into, at least down the road.

(Is there a facility / capability yet for watching for changes to a git / bzr / hg / svn / cvs / etc archive, and should that facility be used instead for this package instead of watching a (relatively) static tarball file if the facility is available for use?) Yes the package does have a git handle: http://git.gnome.org/browse/mobile-broadband-provider-info/ but there is nothing as such as a static tarball on the site. Need more clarity on this. Well, I'm not involved in packaging for Debian at all, just standing on the sidelines, so I could be All Wrong about the following. But... I have the impression that the watch files being talked about elsewhere in this discussion _typically_ refer to a distinct file or files of some sort, which can be obtained via anonymous ftp / http / etc, and which have a distinct version of some sort, be it something embedded in the file name, or a file time stamp, or whatever. And, watching that file, changes to its file name, changes to its time stamp, etc is what's used to determine if a Debian package is up-to-date in terms of its version with respect to the version of the original source the Debian package is derived from. If what you are packaging here does not have a distinct file of some sort that can be used to determine the version of the original source, but a worthwhile version of some sort can be derived from the source version's Git handle, and if that Git handle can be used by the Debian watch file mechanisms to automatically determine when the Debian package's version is out of date with respect to the original source file, then it seems to me that this is what should be done. Now, _if_ one can do this, and if how _how_ one does this, I do not know. But, that seems to be the question that needs to be answered. Thanks for your time. Hope this is of some use, interest.

The default upstream tarball format seems to be .tar.bz2 so you will need to add a bunzip2 ...tar.bz2 | gzip -9 ...tar.gz to the process at least until post-squeeze when you could switch to dpkg-source v3 (IIRC the release team prefers not to unblock dpkg-source format version changes). I just noticed that the version number is incorrect since upstream hasn't bumped the version in configure.ac, please talk to upstream about that. Probably the version number needs to be autogenerated based on the date of the latest git commit when the tarball is generated with make distcheck. The upstream source still contains references to SVN, but it is now maintained in git, you might want to poke them about that.

Yes peter I do agree but this package is maintained in a git clone repository and not a upstream website and the rules file already has the upstream target based on git clone repo.. and @ kart: Here is the modified package based on your long description comment http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mobile-broadband-provider-info Please do take a look and sponsor Thanks and regards, -- Bhavani Shankar.R https://launchpad.net/~bhavi, a proud ubuntu community member.

Add dummy debian/watch file explaining this.
Here is the modified package based on your long description comment
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mobile-broadband-provider-info
Interesting link at upstream homepage:
Information on this page is deprecated. Please, provide future
updates through NetworkManager Bugzilla.
http://blogs.gnome.org/dcbw/2009/06/22/mobile-broadband-assistant-makes-it-easy/
Isn't this merged with NetworkManager already? Please check with
NetworkManager package maintainer(s).

Some points:
