Source: libvc
Version: 012-5
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
This package now use the '3.0 (quilt)' modern archive format;
where the patching at build time is done by dpkg itself.
Please drop the now-extraneous build-pendency on quilt.
Please also drop the debian/README.source file from 2009.
I see you were an early adopter back then;
but nowadays what this README states should
be the one natural & obvious way to manage patches.

Greetings
Alexandre
