    debconf: Change service default to "other"
    
    The list of services is limited, so users are more likely to use a
    service that isn't listed.

    The list is not comprehensive, but it doesn't need to be.

    debian/patches: Drop unnecessary maxinterval.diff
    
    There's no need for this to differ from upstream.  Upstream defaults
    to 25d to ensure that entries are renewed before potential 30d
    expiration.

    debian/gbp.conf: Mangle tilde to dash for upstream tags

commit fff9710f30ecd866888006aacebca2fd32973da6
Author: Richard Hansen <rhansen@rhansen.org>
Date:   Wed Dec 25 04:01:11 2024 -0500

    debian/watch: Scan release artifacts, not automatic tag tarballs
    
    Tarballs automatically generated by GitHub for tags are simple
    repository snapshots -- they don't include files generated by
    autotools such as `configure` and `Makefile.in`.

commit 1b455576981edd47aa0d1202d07b6638523e276a
Author: Richard Hansen <rhansen@rhansen.org>
Date:   Wed Dec 25 04:00:42 2024 -0500

    debian/watch: Mangle dash in upstream -beta, -rc tags to tilde
    
    Upstream follows semver 2.0.0, restricted to `-beta.` and `-rc.` for
    pre-release versions.

commit 79e9a77f2b827d2801ba876f0407c0c665272de8
Author: Richard Hansen <rhansen@rhansen.org>

Author: Richard Hansen <rhansen@rhansen.org>

    debian/watch: Drop unnecessary filenamemangle
    
    It's not really useful.  This fixes the lintian prefer-uscan-symlink
    pedantic tag.

Date:   Mon Feb 26 00:50:07 2024 -0800

    Use dh_installchangelogs to install ChangeLog.md
    
    Now it is installed as changelog.gz instead of NEWS.gz.  This is
    unfortunate because Debian policy wants NEWS.gz (changelog.gz is
    permitted but deprecated) [1].  Maybe some future version of
    dh_installchangelogs will catch up with the policy.
    
    This eliminates another patch, making the package slightly easier to
    maintain.

    Rename various debian/* files to debian/ddclient.* for consistency

commit 9e07ea4ad65e3fa349bc4f5630a8c10a11649b7c
Author: Richard Hansen <rhansen@rhansen.org>
Date:   Sat Feb 24 12:55:33 2024 -0800

    gbp.conf: Set upstream-vcs-tag (for import-orig)
    
    This causes `gbp import-orig --uscan` to merge in the upstream Git
    repo's tag when updating the `upstream/latest` branch.  This assumes
    that the tags from the upstream Git repo have been fetched.
    
    The import commit created by `gbp import-orig --uscan` is expected to
    always have no delta from the upstream Git repository's tag.  However,
    there might be a delta if the orig tarball is repacked to remove
    non-DFSG files or if upstream does some processing on the files before
    producing the tarball (e.g., autotools make dist).

    debconf: Convert run_ipup boolean to run_mode selection
    
    This makes it possible to add new run modes (such as "On DHCP

    debconf: Convert checkip boolean to method selection
    
    This will make it possible to add additional IP discovery methods such
    as `use=cmd`, `use=<device>`, etc.

    debconf: Only prompt for PPP ip-up mode when use=if
    
    The PPP ip-up hook does nothing unless the ddclient config contains a
    `if=<interface>` setting with a matching interface, so there's no
    point in prompting the user to answer ddclient/run_ipup if the user
    wants to use a checkip service.
    
    Also: Assume that the user wants daemon mode if the user does not want
    ipup mode.

    debconf: Change default for ddclient/protocol back to dyndns2
    
    Commit 69ad71add84989267f3443ef6244b749185f19f5 (3.9.1-1) changed the
    default from dyndns2 to noip. Change it back.
    
    Rationale: The noip protocol is only used by noip.com (as far as I
    know), so if the user didn't choose the noip.com service in the
    previous question they probably don't want the noip protocol. The
    dyndns2 protocol, on the other hand, is used by many dynamic DNS
    service providers, not just DynDNS.

    debconf: Drop priority of ddclient/server question

    See:
    https://lintian.debian.org/tags/command-with-path-in-maintainer-script.html
    
    The lintian page recommends `which`, but I prefer `command -v` because
    `which` is not in the POSIX standard.

    Also: Clear debconf/password-repeat in postinst instead of config so

    debconf: Move db_go calls to just before db_get
    
    I believe this improves readability and reduces the chances of
    introducing a bug.
    
    My reasoning: Contrary to what novices (like myself) might expect,
    db_input only queues the question, it does not ask it. The question is
    not asked until the next db_go. One could call db_go after every
    db_input, but then frontends wouldn't be able to batch multiple
    questions on a single screen. With a convention of always calling
    db_go before db_get, we get the following benefits:
      * We're less likely to accidentally call db_get before the question
        has been asked because there's less distance between db_go and
        db_get.
      * Novice Debian devs will see the db_go followed by db_get as a
        unexpected construct, which will hopefully motivate investigation.
        That, in turn, will lead to an understanding about the unexpected
        behavior of db_input.
      * Questions are still batched.
