The manpage reads for the --debianonly option of dpatch-edit-patch:
[..] The optional argument is the path to the upstream tarball [..]

- From my understanding, I expected, that I just need to give the path to
the tarball, excluding the tarball name (I mean, from the changelog
entry, dpatch-edit-patch should be able to determine the .orig.tar.gz
name itself). So what is it: A misunderstanding at my side? Then the
manpage should be slidely adjusted. Or is this option broken?

PS: I would suggest the following:
- - check if the path is a file or directory
- - if it is a file, then consider it the upstream tarball
- - if it is a directory, then expect the .orig.tar.gz inside this
  directory (create the .orig.tar.gz tarball name from debian/changelog)

What is your opinion?

Regards, Daniel
