Please sync big-cursor 3.7 (universe) from Debian unstable (main).

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
Now it build depends on xfonts-base, so it can divert the cursor from there.
New upstream version.
It builds fine in Hardy pbuilder.

Changelog since current hardy version 3.6ubuntu2:

big-cursor (3.7) unstable; urgency=low

  * Current policy.
  * Debhelper v5.
  * Add hint about X resources to README.Debian.
  * Only run font move code on upgrade, not new install.
  * Depend on xfonts-base, so it can divert the cursor from there.

ACKed.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

The existing Ubuntu delta is for a build-dependency, not a dependency, and the Debian changes mention a change to the runtime Depends only. I don't believe this sync request is correct, I don't see any reason to think that the original reason for the Ubuntu delta has ceased to apply.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Looks good to me:

-Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5.0.29), dpkg-dev (>= 1.9.0), xfonts-utils
+Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5.0.29), xutils (>= 4.0.2), dpkg-dev (>= 1.9.0)

daniel@bert:~$ debdiff big-cursor_3.6ubuntu2_all.deb /var/cache/pbuilder/result/big-cursor_3.7_all.deb
File lists identical (after any substitutions)

Control files: lines which differ (wdiff format)

Also:

daniel@bert:~$

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Ok; in that case the rationale for dropping the Ubuntu delta must be that the dependencies of xutils have changed, or that the Ubuntu delta was never required, because the Debian build-dependency was not new. Hence my confusion, since the given rationale was wrong and the dropping of the Ubuntu delta has nothing to do with the changes in the new Debian package.
