Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.15.8.5 Severity: wishlist 1/ When looking up the series file, it should also try series files of parent distributions before falling back to debian/patches/series. Say if mint is derived from ubuntu, the lack of debian/patches/mint.series should result in debian/patches/ubuntu.series being used before debian/patches/series.
2/ When extracting the source package, quilt should automatically point to the series files of the current distribution (and not debian/patches/series unconditionnaly as it currently does). i.e. it should put ubuntu.series in .pc/.quilt_series if that file exists while unpacking a source package on an ubuntu machine.
