Package: darcs-buildpackage
Version: 0.5.12
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/dbp-importdsc

As an experiment, I tried dbp-importdsc'ing old versions of the
"crawl" package from snapshots.debian.net.  The resulting patches
could be significantly improved.  Just look at the output from "darcs
changes debian/changelog":

    Changes to debian/changelog:

    Fri Aug 15 12:51:49 EST 2008  Trent W. Buck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
      * Imported crawl-4.0.0beta26
      into Darcs repository



    Fri Aug 15 12:51:29 EST 2008  Trent W. Buck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
      * Imported crawl-4.0.0beta26
      into Darcs repository



    Fri Aug 15 12:51:09 EST 2008  Trent W. Buck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
      * Imported crawl-4.0.0beta26
      into Darcs repository


The author, date, and changelog description from patches created by
importdsc should be imported from the associated debian/changelog
entry.  In particular, the epoch and debian revision should be
preserved!

Here's an example of what I expect darcs changes to print for an
imported patch:

    Mon Oct 17 21:00:58 EST 2005  Guus Sliepen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
      * Imported crawl 1:4.0.0beta26-6.
      * Fix possible uninitialised string when casting Blade Hands spell. Thanks
        to Ilya Kasnacheev for noticing.  Closes: #325706
      * Apply patch from Kalle Olavi Niemitalo to fix uncursing of Enchant Armor
        spell. Closes: #321082
