hmm. I don't think it is patch that is doing the complaining. $ tar xvzf edsadmin-0.8.1.orig.tar.gz $ mv edsadmin-0.8.1.orig edsadmin-0.8.1 $ zcat edsadmin_0.8.1-2.diff.gz | patch -p0 patching file edsadmin-0.8.1/debian/changelog patching file edsadmin-0.8.1/data/Makefile patching file edsadmin-0.8.1/config.status $ dh_clean seems to kill that directory. I guess I'll just make sure to remove that from my tarballs. It looks like using a newer version of automake will give me a maintainer-clean target that removes this stuff and dist will roll my tarball for me (without that stuff).
