Package: quilt
Version: 0.48-2
Severity: important

It is impossible to clone a quilt-patched tree with standard tools.

I tried the following:
* Complete copy with "cp -a" or "cp -r":
  Fails on unreadable files in .pc.
* Hardlinked clone with "cp -al":
  Fails because quilt appends to .pc/applied-patches and the list of
  applied patches gets out-of-sync quickly.

Setting to important as this breaks building of other packages.
