Hi Benjamin, Thanks for looking at this!

I think this is a good idea, with the proviso that I don't think we should carry new scripts in the Ubuntu devscripts package as a delta against Debian; we should keep them in ubuntu-dev-tools until they are properly upstreamed. > development specific, but not for Ubuntu only (could go into devscripts) > ======================================================================== > add-patch > check-symbols Should this be transitioned to use dpkg-gensymbols instead? It should at least advise maintainers to support dpkg-gensymbols in their packages. > edit-patch The utility is clear, but I guess there would be some resistance to upstreaming this in light of the v3 source format work. > get-build-deps You know, I never knew this existed? Maybe ubuntu-dev-tools needs better namespacing of commands in general... anyway, this is a tool I've argued for a while should be a standard interface provided by dpkg/apt. (without the pbuilder part, that is...) dpkg-checkbuilddeps isn't very pipeable into apt, as it is today. Anyway, long story short, should definitely be worked upstream :-) > merge-changelog Should be rebased on top of dpkg-mergechangelogs, or maybe merged with it entirely. > pull-debian-source (?) Seems Ubuntu specific to me; in Debian one just runs 'apt-get source' after all...
