That's option "-i.*". As I said I plan to support the -i -I option inside debian/source/options just like I recently added support for -z -Z there. But I'm pretty sure that using ".*" as value is a bad idea because you can end up building a binary package that does not match the source package that you upload together with the binary packages. > As it is already the case with Format 1.0 when the maintainer took care of > having a diff.gz file that only contains files within the debian directory, > the > packaging system would not patch or unpatch the upstream sources, leaving this > task to the maintainer. That's still the same here, dpkg-source only comes into play ith its quilt patch when the upstream files are modified. If the automatic patch was not versionned, you would always regenerate a single diff that is exactly like the old .diff.gz. Would that please those that prefer staying with 1.0 ?
