[Bug 385276] Re: Typo in package description

[Thierry Carrez]

When modifying an existing package, the best practice is to keep
whatever patchsystem the Debian packaging is already using. If the
Debian package uses direct modification of files , then you should
continue to do so.

In the dwdiff case, it doesn't use any patchsystem and you can see by
looking at the current .diff.gz that it already modified files outside
the debian/ directory. You should do the same.

Anyway, in your debdiff you patched man/dwdiff.1 directly so it's OK.
It's just your addition of "quilt" build-dependency that is unnecessary,
since you don't even call quilt from your debian/rules and you don't
ship any patches in debian/.

Could you please provide a new debdiff without the build dep change (and
the related changelog entry) ? Test that it builds and fixes both issues
?
