Control: found -1 1.18.2

This is what happens when you add a debian/* file to a quilt patch (which is apparently something newcomers sometimes do...) and then try to build the source package:

patching file debian/rules
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Skipping patch.
1 out of 1 hunk ignored
dpkg-source: info: fuzz is not allowed when applying patches
dpkg-source: info: if patch 'moo.diff' is correctly applied by quilt, use 'quilt refresh' to update it

Here the patch is correctly applied by quilt (in the sense that you can push and pop it), but no amount of refreshing will fix the problem.

Could dpkg-source say explicitly that quilt-patching debian/* files is not supported, and suggest using "quilt remove"?

Sure, makes sense. I'm fixing this for 1.17.12, as I'm wrapping up the 1.17.11 release right now.

Any news on this? 1.17.12 was released over a year ago, but I can still reproduce this bug.
