I've got an interesting problem with dgit. Upstream, I've made a change which performed the following operation (in one commit)

* removed a file (underlays/basewiki/style.css) which was a symlink
 (to doc/style.css)
* moved doc/style.css to the path removed in the previous step

If I cherry-pick this commit over to my debian/dgit branch, write a changelog and try "dgit sbuild", it fails:

dgit: cannot represent change: mode or type changed in unsupported way (120000->100644): underlays/basewiki/style.css

Are you trying to make a quilt patch for this change, or how are you expecting this change to be represented in the source package?
