Quilt was designed to handle non-VCS patch series, and is a VCS on its own. And having two concurrent VCSes fighting between themselves results in stuff like patches-to-patches. single-debian-patch avoids the whole mess.

By mistake I did not check recipients and forgot to send my reply to Debian bug tracker, sorry. Forwarded Message From: Nicholas Guriev To: Emilio Pozuelo Monfort 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.

That will make it harder to merge newer upstream versions (due to conflicts). If you change that and use proper patches (ideally git-format'ted ones when coming from upstream), I will happily sponsor this. Cheers, Emilio
