Source: curl
Version: 7.88.1-10+deb12u5
Severity: serious

Hi,

I'm maintaining a distro derived from Debian, and we've just tripped
over issues in building the curl package with more patches
applied. I've just found the code in debian/rules that calls quilt at
build time to mess around with the source that's built for various of
the alternative SSL libs.

Boggle.

Why on earth are you doing this? It should surely be possible to apply
all the needed patches and then use conditionals with automake in each
build case. That would make a lot more sense.

Please fix this surprising mess.
