How does it handle patch management?

It provides comprehensive support for both traditional Quilt workflows and modern gbp-pq workflows to manage upstream modifications cleanly.

Does this skill support Ubuntu packaging?

Yes, because Ubuntu is derived from Debian, the packaging workflows for debhelper, git-buildpackage, and launchpad-ready source packages are fully supported.

Can it help fix Lintian errors?

Absolutely. The skill is designed to interpret Lintian output and provide specific fixes for policy violations, warnings, and errors.

Can it automate changelog management?

Yes, it utilizes tools like 'dch' and 'gbp dch' to maintain RFC 5322 compliant changelogs and automate version incrementing.

Does it support the latest debhelper standards?

Yes, it defaults to modern best practices including debhelper compatibility level 13+ and the use of the 'dh' sequencer in debian/rules.
