Package: dpatch
Version: 2.0.10
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/dpatch-edit-patch

Please consider having dpatch-edit-patch autodetect the case when
called from a debian/-only directory layout. This could probably
automatically be detected by looking whether the current directory has
only one non-dotted entry, a directory called "debian" which in turn
has files debian/changelog and debian/control.

A less magic approach would be checking for a file
debian/dpep-debianonly or debian/patches/dpep-debianonly, which could
optionally contain instructions on how to find the origtargz.

Additionally, if the current directory is an svn work dir, the script
could look for the svn property merkeWithUpstream.

Please let me know how you would like dpep to behave, and I'll supply
a patch.

Greetings
Marc
