tags 473381 + patch
thanks

Hi,

here's a patch for patchsys-quilt.mk so that quilt always uses
debian/patches directly instead of relying on the symlink. I left the
symlink creation code for backwards compatibility but you might want to
drop it too (it's useless IMO).

Also I'm wondering about the current state of this package. There
has been quite a few bugs opened recently and none of them had a response
from the maintainers. What's up? Will you come back to life?

I might be interested to help but I could use an explanation of where we
are. It looks like upstream is calm too... are you using a VCS to
maintain the package?

Please consider integrating this fix as it will help to switch to the new
source package format "3.0 (quilt)" that uses debian/patches directly
without creating this symlink (and thus a 3.0 quilt source package unpacked
where you call "debian/rules reverse-patch" fails because it can't find
"patches"... and is thus unable to unapply them).

Cheers,
