Package: dh-make Version: 0.48 Severity: wishlist As policy 4.14 says about README.source: "It should not assume familiarity with any specific Debian packaging system or patch management tools.".
When using quilt or dpatch, an example README.source should be provided. Example (taken from 495233): | This package uses quilt to manage all modifications to the upstream | source. Changes are stored in the source package as diffs in | debian/patches and applied during the build. Please see: | | /usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source | | for more information on how to apply the patches, modify patches, or | remove a patch.
