Comment 7 for bug 1058035

While the link to the ppa is nice, it's not something that can be sponsored.
The debdiff against ubuntu has noise in the debian/changelog, it appears that you have dropped all of the past ubuntu changelog entries.
Generally there are two modes of operation:
* debdiff attached to the bug report
* merge proposal into the target branch lp:ubuntu/package (if the branches are up to date)

I did review the launchpad generated diff, but some other sponsors might not. The idea here is that you learn how to generate debdiffs yourself and check to see if they are minimal/sane.
