Package: dpkg-source
Version: 1.13.18

Hi,

I found a couple of things where dpkg-source 2.0 is too strict:

1. it refuses if a patch starts with "diff -Nur ...." as comment. Fix:
   add a "or /^diff /", so that the check line looks like:
        while (defined($_ = <DIFF>) && !(/^--- / or /^Index:/ or /^diff /)) {

2. It refuses to accept it, if the first filename is postceded (hm, is
   this english?) with e.g. a ~ - which I do quite often.
   
--- mgetty-1.1.33.orig/fax/faxrunq.in~  2005-05-10 20:36:15.852961681 +0000
+++ mgetty-1.1.33/fax/faxrunq.in        2005-02-27 11:57:31.000000000 +0000

3. It ignores any patches with a . in their name - without even a
   warning. (That's a "IMHO too strict".)



Cheers,
Andi
