Licensing was an example. Packaging guidelines covers a lot of other
cases. I think you have already been told that the multiple packages
with the same source base is not allowed and I have already indicated
why. Let's not go in circles.
Ok, ok. But why this is likely when initial case with patch without
intermediate steps like pseudo-forks?
Pseudo, because I it will not be intended for any innovations except one
patch and presupposes sync witch upstream developing of the both projects?
Separate forks are clearly permitted. The intention with a fork is that
code bases have clearly deviated and being conveyed to users while a
patchset produces friction. I don't know whether it is likely in your
case. You will have to present an actual review request or ask FESCo.
