Package: debhelper Version: 7.0.17 Severity: wishlist Hi Joey,
the new dh mode is quite nice. One thing I'm really missing though is cdbs' simplicity when it comes to adding patch support. In cdbs I simply have to add include /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make , include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/simple-patchsys.mk or include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/patchsys-quilt.mk at the top of the makefile, and everything is done automatically for me. Both quilt and dpatch ship makefile snippets: /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make /usr/share/dpatch/dpatch.make with support for the patch/unpatch targets. Maybe they could be utilized in debhelper and whenever they are included they get automatically hooked up in the right places.
