Source: pchar
Version: 1.5-7
Severity: normal
Hi Peter,
pchar 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.
I think debian/README.source should be dropped too,
as it does not states anything usefull nowadays.
Greetings
Alexandre

This package uses quilt. See
/usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source. for details.
