Maybe only trigger it if debian/source/patch-header doesn't exist and mention that if this is intentional, creating that file allows adding a custom header to the generated patch explaining why this is done? That could avoid the numerous false positives of patch-system-but-direct-changes-in-diff and make it less wild-guessy. Otherwise, seems like a good idea to me. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
