I'll let Guillem do that if he agrees with me. > If you can take a moment, can you advise me what the correct approach to > handling this should be? Just make sure to push the patches before running > 'debuild clean'? Thanks. It depends on why you're trying to clean your source package. If it's just after a build, you might want to consider using the "-tc" option that calls the clean target after a successfull build. Usually "debian/rules clean" tends to work even with patches unapplied but in the few cases where it doesn't, it's certainly ok if you manually ensure that they are applied. Note that the default state of the source package after "dpkg-source -x" is patches applied... if you use a workflow where patches are unapplied, it's up to this workflow to ensure that they are applied at the correct time.
