  • build-depend on autoconf-archive and rm convenience copy in orig.tar.gz

    From Thomas Koch@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jan 19 17:50:02 2022
    I searched but apparently this has not yet been discussed anywhere below lists.debian.org.

    My package ships two convenience copies from autoconf-archive in it's m4 folder. Should I

    a) leave these files and add the corresponding data to d/copyright or
    b) leave these files and don't bother about d/copyright or
    c) remove these files and add build-depend on autoconf-archive, linking the files before dh_autoreconf?

    Apparently I'm not the only one with uncertainty here: https://bugs.debian.org/949119

    Thanks for your guidance, Thomas
