Package: patch
Version: 2.7.5-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Patch has no examples. It would be nice if it included at least two
examples, for e.g. -
Inside a debian source package with a patch to make a new binary debian package
$ patch -p1 < ../$some.patch
Simiarly if there a a debdiff, it is the same thing as patch -
$ patch -p1 < ../$some.debdiff
So at least people would have some idea of how to use it.
