My apologies, I thought ‘buxy’ was perhaps the name of some service on the Debian project infrastructure. > The reason you cannot use -p0 with dpkg-source 3.0 (quilt) source > packages is because dpkg-source ignores options in the series file > and expects patches were generated with -p1 or -pab, a quote from > the dpkg-source manual page: > > Note however that while dpkg-source parses correctly series files > with explicit options used for patch application (stored on each > line after the patch filename and one or more spaces), it does > ignore those options and always expect patches that can be applied > with the -p1 option of patch.
