Author Additional binary package generated by a source package: how to handle this ?

Hi folks,

If a source package "foo", which produces a binary package (say, "bar"), also produces an additional "baz" package in an updated version, how this should be handled ? Any specific things to do, apart from appending the debian/control file (and debian/baz.
files) with the new entry ? Will the autobuilders handle this without troubles ?

Cheers,
Xavier

No.

Yes.

You will have to go through NEW processing again, though.
