Source: binutils-m68hc1x
Version: 1:3.5.3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainers,
binutils-m68hc1x has an extraneous/stale build-dependecy on 'quilt'.
With modern '3.0 (quilt)' packages this build-dependency
is not needed anymore: the task of applying the patches
at build-time is handled by dpkg itself.
The one line calling 'quilt' in d/rules is now a no-op.
Greetings
Alexandre

thanks
The build dependency to "quilt" is needed for this package.
This package is a native package which depends on "binutils-source". During
building of "binutils-m68hc1x", the source code is retrieved from
"binutils-source". Then "quilt" is used to patch (with patches that are not
part of "binutils-source") the sources from "binutils-source". After that,
it is used to build "binutils-m68hc1x". Leaving out the "quilt" command
does not produce the same result.
Regards,
Vincent Smeets
