Before Raphaël showed me this report, I had written my own. I include it here simply because it goes a step further than the quilt format and advocates aborting in the presence of any changes outside debian/*:
An option like --refuse-debian-patch (v3 mainly) or --refuse-non-debian-changes (more generic) would be useful, which would abort creation of a source package if the diff containned changes outside of debian/*. Ideally this could be enforced with a file in debian/source/*. While the automatic generation of debian/patches/debian-changes-$version is useful at times, some packages specifically want to adopt a patches-for-everything policy, and such an option would help enforce that. (I have uploaded packages in the past without noticing the auto-generated debian/patches/debian-changes-$version file). -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madd...@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
