I modified scripts/dget.pl to die if a file from launchpadlibrarian.net was requested. When it dies, it displays this message in the terminal:

"Use dgetlp provided by ubuntu-dev-tools for files hosted at launchpadlibrarian.net."

Since we are telling them to use dgetlp, I also added ubuntu-dev-tools as a recommended package. apt now installs recommended packages automatically, so this will cause ubuntu-dev-tools to be installed along with devscripts. As a result, they won't have any issues running dgetlp.

The debdiff includes changes to debscripts.pot fr.po. From the looks of it, this is because I added lines to dget.pl. As a result, the line numbers for the translations had to be modified. If these changes are not needed in the debdiff, let me know. I would be glad to prepare a new debdiff without them.

devscripts (2.10.26ubuntu8) intrepid; urgency=low

  * scripts/dget.pl
    - Die if trying to download from launchpadlibrarian.net
      and tell user to use dgetlp from ubuntu-dev-tools. (LP: #247172)
  * debian/control
    - Recommend ubuntu-dev-tools
