Package: fossil Version: 1:1.35-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch This is suggested on the upstream mailing list.
Let's change debian/rules override_dh_auto_configure as: override_dh_auto_configure: dh_auto_configure -- --disable-option-checking \ --disable-internal-sqlite --json \ --with-th1-docs --with-th1-hooks \ --with-tcl=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) \ --with-tcl-stubs (Yes, just add "--disable-option-checking" ! as an extra option.) Then you can drop Debian patch in debian/patches/ directory. This is a cleaner packaging. (Of course, if upstream changes to accept silent-rules, that's better but it will take time.
