If upstream ships a file that does not end with a newline it is not possible to modify it since the generated debian/patches/debian-changes-0.01-1 can not be applied... -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-amd64-lindi2 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages diffutils depends on: ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib diffutils recommends no packages.
