FYI, this is called a merge (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Merging). And no need to touch the source package name, only the binary one. > than upgrade to newest version. > Ours has also been tested. > instead we need to just use ours to cut the extrs work Iceweasel-firegpg is in unstable and testing since July, thus, it has been tested too. The previous comment from Saša was much more pertinent about the reasoning (especially the auto-update stuff), so you don't have to add random and wrong reasons to it, please. In a prefect world, a common (i.e., Debian and Ubuntu) rename of the package to firegpg (it should work on iceweasel, firefox, and so on, so no need to prepend the name) would really cut the extra work, for *both* sides (look at enigmail for instance). Anyway, we don't live in a perfect world[1], so do as you want.
