Maybe I missed something from earlier discussion - but why not rename debian/source/patch-header to debian/patches/debian-changes? (I mean, dpkg-source would preserve the header when regenerating the file, like quilt does, right?) And the existence of that patch file should already imply the --single-debian-patch flag. -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
