Package: linesrv
Version: 2.1.21-4.3
Severity: minor
Usertags: 3.0-quilt-by-default
To prepare a possible switch to the new source package format "3.0
(quilt)" [1], I converted all source packages and rebuilt the packages
afterwards to see what breaks, and linesrv does break. To reproduce the
problem you can do this:
$ apt-get source linesrv
$ sed -i -e '/^Source:/ aFormat: 3.0 (quilt)' linesrv-2.1.21/debian/control
$ dpkg-source -b linesrv-2.1.21
$ dpkg-source -x linesrv_2.1.21-4.3.dsc
$ cd linesrv-2.1.21 && debuild -us -uc
In this process, if the .diff.gz contains changes to upstream files,
dpkg-source will have created a corresponding patch in
debian/patches/debian-changes-2.1.21-4.3 and will have registered that
patch in a quilt series (debian/patches/series, it is created if needed).
All the patches listed in the "series" file are applied directly during
the extraction (dpkg-source -x). quilt itself is used if available (and
will thus lead to the creation of the .pc directory), otherwise
dpkg-source applies the patches by itself. For more information about the
new source package format see the manual page dpkg-source(1).
In the case of linesrv, the patch system employed considers all files in
debian/patches/ to be patches (even the "series" file or the
".dpkg-source-applied" stamp file created by dpkg-source -x on a 3.0
(quilt) source package).
I suggest switching to a more common patch system like quilt (you can rely
on /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make to get proper rules for debian/rules). Not
that any other patch system would do as well if they use an explicit
list (like dpatch/quilt) or only consider files with a .diff or .patch extension
(like simple-patchsys from CDBS).
Cheers,

Version: 2.1.21-4.3+rm
The linesrv package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.
For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/502810 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.
Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.
Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
