Package: dpkg Version: 1.16.3 Severity: wishlist PROBLEM
There are some packages that are native but include patches. For example: sawfish-themes With dpkg, this package would be of type 3.0 (native) ... but then dpkg wouldn't handle included patches and maintainer needs to write his own patch handling to debian/rules; which kind of misses the built-in patch management support in new packaging format, SUGGESTION I'm proposing that dpkg would also recognize format specs: 3.0 (native quilt) 3.0 (quilt native) and handle debian/patches files as in 3.0 (quilt) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
