While stylistic, the rationale for these changes is as follows:
= debian/control
Group Section and Priority together as these categorize the package, and place them after Source or Package fields, as this determines where in the archive these might end up.
Place Maintainer/Uploader after these, as the responsible party for the package.
Move Rules-Requires-Root before Build-Depends, as this determines how to drive the building process, and might impose additional dependencies, such as fakeroot or sudo.
Move the Testsuite after the Build-Depends, as this is part of the runnable metadata.
= debian/copyright
Move the Source field after Format, as both line up, refer to an URL, and it's the first reference to the upstream project.
These tend to be the changes I do on packages I've ITPed, as they jump on my face pretty quickly. :smile:
