I've been reading this thread and keep being reminded of our discussion on #debian-dpkg a while ago. I think most of the complaints about Debian source package formats are rooted in a design mistake made early on. The debian/ directory. The debian/ dir controls the upstream source but is in a subdirectory of the upstream source. The directory hierarchy is an inverse of the relationship between its parts. The debian/patches/ dir is another layering violation on top of that. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
