I never intended for anyone to just run submittodebian and accept the defaults. :) When I've used it myself to submit stuff that really constituted two distinct changes, I've run it twice, and on each run removed all the stuff that didn't pertain to the change in question. That's why it fires up an editor with the debdiff in it. Perhaps this isn't very well documented :( I couldn't think of a way to separate a patch into logically separate pieces without creating separate Ubuntu versions for the distinct changes just for this purpose, but I myself at least never had the discipline (nor motivation) to do that. :) -- Soren Hansen Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntu.com/
