Package: cron Version: 3.0pl1-128 Severity: minor Hello, I found myself in a situation where I need to patch cron, and it is a huge pain to handle that patch when the source package contains the debian changes directly applied to the upstream source code.
Looking at the git repo history, it appears a set of patches "appeared" in http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-cron/pkg-cron.git/commit/?id=79fc5634b5af71c1c6a73692c96fe79586b85d87 but then it got also quickly removed in http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-cron/pkg-cron.git/commit/?id=9bc55b1ef8a3563ffa215983762b4f7d8bc52aea I'm wondering if you plan on switching to '3.0 (quilt)' anytime soon, eventually resurrecting the work done for 79fc563.
