Hello Dan, yeah, backup-files was completely rewritten in 0.44-5. That's a debian change to get rid of the only compiled binary of the package, to make porter life easier (initial patch from vorlon). I submitted it to upstream, and still wait for their answer.
This version does work in all the situation I've come up so far, as well as with the quilt test suite. I'll try to build such broken patches to see if I manage to get it fooling around. But of course, if you have any additional details, you are welcome. Bye, Mt.
