Feature #6087
Cleanup liveusb-creator packaging
100%
Description
The current state of liveusb-creator packaging is, well, suboptimal. Just have a look at the content of the liveusb-creator_3.11.6.orig.tar.gz so-called original source tarball to get an idea. It’s not clear wether "upstream", from a Debian packaging point-of-view, means "Fedora" or "our master Git branch".
Due to this confusion (and lack of interesting changes in there), I’ve refrained from merging upstream 3.11.7 into our tree.

For Feature #7095, I had to regenerate a new “upstream” tarball, and settled on the following: from now on, “upstream” means, from a Debian packaging point-of-view, the state of our master branch. Let’s not pretend we have not forked liveusb-creator, and admit we are now upstream for our own version.
Still, most of the time, we will be releasing -N “Debian”-specific packages, that really are packaged Git snapshots, rather than new “upstream” releases. Only when we really need it, we will update the “orig” tarball from our master branch.
I have documented this in the liveusb-creator release process doc, calling this a fix.
