I'm using dgit to package pcre, so the easiest thing is probably for

I just had a look at the dgit history of pcre2, and it looks like you're
using a pure git merge-based workflow.
That's correct.
I'd like to encourage you to explicitly follow the workflow described in
dgit-maint-merge(7), which is essentially a cleaned-up version of what
you're already doing.
Thanks for the pointer - I don't think that document existed when I
started on pcre2 in dgit.
In particular, that manpage provides sample text for
debian/source/patch-header which would have given Jeremy a way in, and
perhaps avoided the filing of this bug.
Right. I will endeavour to migrate to this approach (and update the
patch-header) when I make the next pcre2 upload (which I expect to be
after the stretch release at this point, mod. any security updates in
the mean time).
Regards,
Matthew
