''Note: Copied verbatim from Scott James Remnant's mail last August 30, 2006, in the ubuntu-devel mailing list.''

In line with the recent change to the sync policy, Lucas Nussbaum
proposed the following change to the merge policy:

  The last changelog entry of a merged package should contain the list
  of Ubuntu changes remaining in the package. Something like:

{{{
xxxxx (vvv-1ubuntu1) edgy; urgency=low

  * Merged with Debian. Changes are:
    + Modified build-dep on libfoo to build on edgy.
    + Added .desktop file.
}}}

It would help a lot when trying to understanding changes (no need
anymore to read 10+ changelog entries to understand the reason for a
change!)


This was a recommendation for the edgy merge process; by consensus of
the Ubuntu Technical Board, this has now been changed to a policy.

Future merges must include, in the changelog entry for the merge, a list
of the remaining Ubuntu changes.		 #REDIRECT UbuntuDevelopment#SyncingAndMerging
