Why not just merge into Ubuntu directly from experimental? Presumably
experimental is intended to land in unstable eventually, so surely it
should have everything we want?

Title:
Please merge inkscape 0.91-1 from Debian unstable (main)
To manage
I had a quick go at a direct merge last night, and there were a few
conflicts to sort out... I guess I wasn't sure whether the priority is
to minimise the delta between the new package and (a) the current Ubuntu
package (b) Debian unstable or (c) Debian experimental.
I'll have another look at it
Ah I didn't realise the freeze for Jessie was in effect... no, I doubt
that Inkscape will meet the exception policy!
I guess we should push ahead with a merge from experimental then, but it
might be a bit fiddly. Would it be reasonable to do something like:
bzr branch lp:debian/inkscape
In general, we want to miminize the delta between Debian and Ubuntu. As
this would be merging from experimental, this means that you want to
apply (the current Ubuntu delta against what it is based on) to (the
current packaging in Debian experimental). Unless there's something
specific about
ctually, it'll probably be cleaner to hold on for a short time until
the Debian maintainer has released the package in the Unstable branch...
Are you sure that the Debian maintainer is planning to do this? Since
Debian is in freeze, it's often easier to not upload something to
unstable that will
