Bug#1068324: lintian: patch-not-forwarded-upstream for upstream patches
Hi Nilesh,

this is not entirely correct.
The full patch header is:
Description: fix typeset -p confusion between empty and unset
Origin: commit:10065BC69BE555D6721
Description is the standard name for Subject (the same way
Author is the standard DEP 3 name for From), and it’s present,
and when Origin indicates an upstream commit (as shown here),
Author does not need to be present, per DEP 3.
bye,

If Harry Potter gets a splitting headache in his scar
when he’s near Tom Riddle (aka Voldemort),
does Tom get pain in the arse when Harry is near him?
-- me, wondering why it’s not Jerry Potter………
