[Debichem-devel] Conflict between debian/upstream (DEP-12) & debian/upstream/ (uscan)

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Simon,

I have no idea whether you did follow the discussion but it would be
great if you could submit a patch to the lintian check you recently
wrote.  The upstream files will be moved from debian/upstream (the
file) to debian/upstream/metadata.

Kind regards

     Andreas.
