A source tarball / archive from upstream must contain *only* source code, nothing else. If it contains anything that comes from the original source, then it's additional pain for the package maintainer. > but maybe I'm missing > something which makes that particularly complicated?

That's one view, probably motivated by the fact it's probably easier to deal with in the long run. However convenient it may be, I don't think it feels "clean". And by the way, when it comes to the OpenStack stuff, FTP masters have already expressed their dislike of the upstream ChangeLog: it is a *WAY* to big, at the level of megabytes sometimes, and it may appear in .deb files that would otherwise be a few kilobytes. All this isn't new... Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
