would be confused by this, in that they
wont know to unpack a source package that contains only a .diff.gz
against a .tar.gz of the appropriate version number.
Also, I guess you are opening up the possibility of creating a source
package containing both a .tar.gz and .diff.gz, which will also co
same. These handle most of this well. What I would like to do is come up
with a system like one of these, but specialised for Debian packaging,
so that the patches are stored under debian/patches, and the information
about them is stored in the vcs. However I can't come up with a design
that
, so that it wont be
seen on installation, but if the user tries to reconfigure exim4 they
will be directed to the correct package.
