The benefits are: - "quilt" functionality is built in; needs no explicit package dependency. - debian/rules needs no special commands (makes it more clean). - Standard quilt commands from command line continue to work as usual. If you have time, please see the attached NMU work I did so far. With these chnages the package comes Lintian clean. It also closes some of the bugs (like libdb transition). Thanks, Jari
