Package: cron
Version: 3.0pl1-114
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainers,


Thank you for maintaining the (probably) most used package in Debian ever. (Or
is it bash?).


Today I was trying to apply a patch to the latest Debian package in squeeze.
Unfortunately, the patch didn't immediately apply. This led me to investigate
why.


That part was hard, since the Debian patch is one big hunk of diff :)  That is
fine, but it would be better if you could split your Debian patch into quilt
patches so reviewing them is made easier.

I know you have an SCM, but for people who use the package on their systems,
trying to apply a patch, it would be much easier if you could split patches
into smaller parts.


Thanks for all the hard work,

Best,

Allard
