Much more reliable and simpler: Put "single-debian-patch" in debian/source/options and then stick something like the following in debian/source/patch-header: | Subject: Collected Debian patches for <package> | Author: <maintainer> | | The packaging for <package> is maintained in Git using multiple | branches for fixes, which makes it complex to separate the changes easily | into individual patches. They are therefore all included in a single | Debian patch. | | For full commit history and separated commits, see the packaging Git | repository. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
