But isn't one major benefit of using the new quilt-based packaging source format to *avoid* the need for this sort of manual patch creation work, especially for small changes like this? As I understand it, the new 3.0 format allows (and in some sense encourages) packagers to "just make the change" and let the package build system worry about how to store it. It even puts a nice DEP-3-consistent comment tag about the LP bug into the generated patch file, all automatically. So... shouldn't we use that nice new capability? Especially since this patch is probably going to get integrated upstream pretty soon anyway :) Can you explain the value of (or reason for) continuing to create patches "by hand" in this situation?
