Hi Charles,

Thanks for looking into this issue and resolving it!. I don't think I
quite understand what is going on, I'll try to read a little more
about quilt and patch management.

The same thing is happening with the Tophat package Alex just uploaded:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/88998061/buildlog_ubuntu-oneiric-i386.tophat_1.3.3-1~oneiric1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

Can you look into it? Should I just change "debian/rules" to match
what you did for cufflinks?

Thanks again and Happy New Year!
Carlos
