# On branch master
# Changed but not updated:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
# modified: debian/changelog
# modified: debian/control
#
# Untracked files:
# (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
# debian/files
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
