By mistake I did not check recipients and forgot to send my reply to Debian bug tracker, sorry.
-------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Nicholas Guriev <guriev...@ya.ru> To: Emilio Pozuelo Monfort <po...@debian.org> Subject: Re: Bug#953803: RFS: xdg-utils/1.1.3-2 -- desktop integration utilities from freedesktop.org Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2020 23:05:44 +0300 Mailer: Evolution 3.34.1-2 dpkg was earlier configured for the package to automatically use single debian patch, and hence I can choose not to bother with Quilt and manage changes by using Git. It has a smarter merge algorithm and a wider integration with external conflict resolvers. Besides that, the package repository is a plain fork of the upstream one and so it has shared history. It would be fairly odd to have two concurrent systems for control modifications of the sole package.
