By the way: Why are at least some patches against the previous Ubuntu
version instead of the version in Debian?

[1] shows me a patch from Ubuntu for version 0.3.0-1ubuntu1 of my
package (with 0.3.0-1 being the current version in Debian). The patch
set[2] is against 0.2.2-1 instead of 0.3.0-1. Are scott's patch sets
only generated against the last Debian revision synced verbatim without
changes into Ubuntu? Because the patch will get very messy and kind of
useless after some new uploaded revisions...

Kind regards,
Philipp Kern
