Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.13.26
Severity: important
Hi!
Given the recent thread on debian-devel I'm filing this as bugreport.
Behaving differently wether quilt is installed or not is working against
the principles of least surprise, results in FTBFS in certain areas, and
is a hassle.
Fix for this would be to Depend on quilt to make sure that it's always
installed and make dpkg-source -x behave *exactly the same* all the
time. Another fix for it would be to make dpkg-source -x be able to do
that even without quilt installed. But it is important to have
dpkg-source behave idempotent, otherwise there will be lots of different
areas things can (and will) break.
Thanks,
Rhonda
