That sounds okay, although by your own admission it's _not_ the only
change:

  I attach the full debdiff to this email. There are other changes
  that creeped into the debdiff, due to our packaging of the 
  texlive-{base,extra,doc,lang} package in the same repository, but
  they only related to other packages and are not evaluated
  (changes in tpm2deb.cfg), plus a call to dh_lintian in rules.

I must admit to being a little confused as to why tpm2deb.cfg is shipped
in the source package if it's not used.  The call to dh_lintian should
certainly be mentioned in the changelog; it's a material change to the
packaging.

However, the source package appears to already handle binary lintian
overrides by its own method and I don't think it's worth the build or
review time just to fix the changelog so have unblocked the package.
I'd ask that you please bear the above comments in mind for future
uploads.

Regards,

Adam

The file is used, but the changed lines are not, because they are
configuration lines for the building of binary packages from different
source packages.  There are so many things that those four source
packages have in common that we chose to have one repository and one
configuration file, not one for each and one for all that would have to
be synchronized somehow.

Sorry for the pressure, my laptop broke, I am leaving for 2 weeks
of travelling, so I wanted to close some loose ends.

As Frank explained: We have one configuration file that is used in
four different source packages. THe changes that are in there are
only used in texlive-base building process, but other lines in tpm2deb.cfg
are used during building texlive-extra.

 However, the source package appears to already handle binary lintian
 overrides by its own method and I don't think it's worth the build or
 review time just to fix the changelog so have unblocked the package.

Thanks a lot, and sorry for the inconveniences

 (that is not clear by now) creates garbeld UTF8 output in the 
 /usr/share/info/dir file.
 
 The short term solution is fixing the problematic info file, and this
 is what this upload does. It adds another patch under debian/patches
 that fixes the info file, plus adds a line in the debian/patches/series
 file plus a change log entry. That is all.
 
 The first bug report on strange dir files is #555620
 Ian Zimmerman tracked it down to broken info files, and submitted 
 two bug reports, one against texlive-font-utils shipping the problematic
 info file #683201, and one against texinfo that (g)install-info should
 be more robust wrt to errors #683204. Obviously the second one cannot
 be fixed so easily and quickly, so I decided to at least make sure
 that in the currently available packges the info/dir file is not
 created with garbled content.
