Package: lintian Version: 2.5.25 Severity: normal Dear Lintian Hackers,
for format 1.0 source packages which occassionally need patching, I prefer to keep quilt in the build-dependencies and debian/rules. I also keep an empty debian/patches/series file. But lintian still claims quilt-build-dep-but-no-series-file despite it is surely not true that there is no series file. So please suppress this warning if debian/patches/series is empty as this is a sign that this was done deliberately. In case you think there still could be cases where an empty debian/patches/series file is not on purpose, feel free to add a separate, maybe pedantic-level warning about that. TIA!
