In fact, it really does so but for backup files... -b or --backup Make backup files. That is, when patching a file, rename or copy the original instead of removing it. When backing up a file that does not exist, an empty, unreadable backup file is created as a placeholder to represent the nonexistent file. See the -V or --version-control option for details about how backup file names are determined. However this has apparently been fixed in patch 2.6 according to the quilt maintainer: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/quilt.git/commit/?id=714b8e6fa1f52229637e75cac96474e0ba84b87d Myon, when do you plan to upload patch 2.6 in Debian ?
