Hm, true enough, yes. Sorry about my confusion.

Sorry, but I'm still not convinced I'd like to see dpep handle the config files of *-buildpackage and the like. I'd rather see it well explained where the original tarballs are searched for, and let the user running dpatch-edit-patch make sure the files are there. Less magic, less bugs, I say. The current debian/watch and apt-get source thingy is more than enough, I think. If one wants to avoid both of those, he should know where to place his orig.tar.gz. -- Gergely Nagy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
