Source: abook
Version: 0.6.1-3
Severity: important

Hi,

We are making good progress all togheter
cleaning up old outdated/confusing packaging practices.
See https://trends.debian.net/

abook has an extraneous/stale build-dependecy on 'quilt'.

With modern '3.0 (quilt)' packages this build-dependency
is not needed anymore: the task of applying the patches
at build-time is handled by dpkg itself.

Please also drop the old debian/README.source,
everyone should be familiar with '3.0 (quilt)' packages by now.

Greetings

Alexandre
