Dear Ximin,

While I agree with you that it would be nice to have a big fat warning
when `debuild` attempts to build package with no patches applied, I
must mention that sometimes current behaviour is quite useful. When
you're hacking the source tree and finalising your patches it is
convenient that `debuild -b` is not trying to re-apply them. This is
only happening when you're building with "-b" option. Without "-b"
patches will be applied and `debuild` will fail on any error.

Regarding #728097 that you mentioned you should have build your
package in clean environment (e.g. using pbuilder) in first
place. Many other problems will happen if you're not building in clean
chroot before upload.
