Package: parted
Version: 1.8.8.git.2008.03.24-11
Severity: normal
I happened to notice that Guido Günther's multipath and device-mapper
map type detection patches are applied directly to the source package,
rather than using the patch system that's in place. Now, *personally* I
happen to be no fan of patch systems, but when one is already in place
for a given package it seems excessively confusing not to continue with
that practice. Could you please use a dpatch file or files in
debian/patches/ instead?
The affected files are libparted/arch/linux.c and
include/parted/linux.h.
Thanks,

This particular bit of the problem is fixed at least by
1.8.8.git.2009.06.03-1, possibly earlier. There were still a few
build-system changes outside debian/ in that version, but 2.1-1 and
newer have everything in debian/.
