Purging chroot-autobuild/build/buildd/musescore-1.0+dfsg
I've uploaded an updated package for musescore, containing a fix for this and the latest upstream release, which fixes a lot of other bugs, to Debian mentors and to the mscore-stable PPA. I am aware, however, that FF is now past, and so an exception would be needed for version 1.1+dfsg-1 (or 1.1+dfsg-0ubuntu1, whichever is easiest) to enter Ubuntu. I believe that, on the balance of things, it would be better to have that latest version rather than to backport the patch that fixes this specific bug to the earlier (and more buggy) version 1.0 package.
Do I need to open another bug for an FFe? Should I upload a 1.1+dfsg-0ubuntu1 package to revu?
