OK, there are a bunch of changes I made to how we package this.
Before, there were a lot of in-place changes to the source:
* We modified Makefile.am to install vocabulary.gz
* We modified get_tags to point at anonymous svn
* We modified get_vocabulary to not get the Debian security team's tags
* We modified sources.list to point at installed vocabulary.gz
Then, the packager was expected to (1) run autogen.sh which rebuilt Makefile.in (and friends) and re-downloaded tags and vocabulary (this time without the security stuff) and (2) gzip vocabulary.
As a side-effect to (1), the debdiff was hard to read and sometimes the package would have newer tags/vocab because of the fresh svn download. I'm not certain, but I don't believe that was necessarily an intended feature.
So I tried to clean this up. I added patches to strip the security tags from vocabulary and to modify sources.list. Then I added a hook to debian/rules that gzips vocabulary.
There were a couple patches I was able to drop with the new version. A ftbfs patch and a libept api change patch. Both are upstream now.
The attached ubuntu- to-ubuntu. debdiff only has debian/* changes which is not the whole picture, since as I said, previously several changes were in-place. Full debdiff available upon request.
Finally, there is a bug in libwibble that causes us to FTBFS. I'll not subscribe a sponsor until bug 385317 is fixed.
