Package: python3.13 Version: 3.13.12-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainers,
python3.13 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. The manual maintainr rule "update-patches:" is not called during the build, but only in preparation, this way 'quilt' is used akin to 'git' but not needed for build itself. Greetings Alexandre /tmp/python3.13-3.13.12$ grep quilt -ir -B 3 debian/source/format:3.0 (quilt) debian/rules-update-patches: $(patchdir)/series debian/rules: export QUILT_PATCHES=$(patchdir); \ debian/rules: while quilt push; do quilt refresh -pab --no-timestamps --no-index; done debian/control.in: quilt, autoconf, debian/control: quilt, autoconf, debian/changelog-python3.4 (3.4.2-2) unstable; urgency=medium debian/changelog- debian/changelog- * Repackage the upstream source without the bundled ensurepip wheels (using debian/changelog: package format 3.0 (quilt)). debian/changelog-python3.1 (3.1.2+20100703-1) unstable; urgency=low debian/changelog- debian/changelog- * Update to the 3.1 release branch, 20100703. debian/changelog: * Convert internal dpatch system to quilt.
