I propose to update it since we will want to enable multiarch, which is best supported in dh 9. 3. The "current" development version is saucy (as dated 15/10/2013). -- https://code.launchpad.net/~smartboyhw/ubuntu-packaging-guide/update-packaging-new-software-pages/+merge/191193 Your team Ubuntu Packaging Guide Team is requested to review the proposed merge of lp:~smartboyhw/ubuntu-packaging-guide/update-packaging-new-software-pages into lp:ubuntu-packaging-guide.
