quality patches and bug reports.
- <sect1 id="nmu-katie">How dak detects NMUs
- <p>
-Whether an upload is treated as an NMU or as a maintainer upload by
-the archive scripts and the bugtracking system (see <ref
-id="nmu-patch">) is <em>not</em> decided by looking at the version
-number (see <ref id="nmu-version">). Instead, an upload is handled as
-an NMU if the maintainer address in the <tt>.changes</tt> file is not
-binary the same as the address in the <tt>Maintainer</tt> field, or
-any of the addresses the <tt>Uploaders</tt> field, of the <tt>dsc</tt>
-file, and also if the maintainer address is not special (i.e. it is
-not set to the QA Group address).
-
<sect1 id="nmu-terms">Terminology
<p>
There are two new terms used throughout this section: ``binary-only NMU''
<p>
It is an old tradition to acknowledge bugs fixed in non-maintainer
uploads in the first changelog entry of the proper maintainer upload.
-Please use the option <tt>-v</tt> to <prgn>dpkg-buildpackage</prgn>
-to close the relevant bug report.
+As we have version tracking now,
+it is enough to keep the NMUed changelog entries and
+just mention this fact in your own changelog entry.
