New description:
New upstream archive: http://www.tcs.hut.fi/Software/bliss/bliss-0.73.zip
(we have 0.72)
Upstream bliss does not have a proper build system (in particular no 'make
install').
"spkg-install" installs header files with generic names such as "graph.hh"
flat into $SAGE_LOCAL/include/
Debian has https://packages.debian.org/sid/math/bliss
which autotoolizes the package and adjust the include file location.
This matches where Polymake (#20892) expects the header files.
The patch in this package is generated by making a diff from the original
tarball with the distribution here:

Comment (by mkoeppe):
Replying to [comment:9 jdemeyer]:
> The usual way to ship packages in Sage is to start from the original
unmodified sources and then apply patches (either at packaging time or at
build time). Here, you are instead forking upstream for no clear reason.
OK, I've changed it to using upstream + a patch.
Unfortunately our patches cannot be as elegant as Debian's because we
cannot rely on the availability of autotools. So my patch has to ship the
whole autogenerated build system.
