Not exactly, but related. I used  "dgit clone i3-wm" to get a working
directory identical to the unpacked source package. But it did contain a
.git directory and that apparently confuses the build system.

If I "mv .git .git.bak" then it seems to build OK.  It would be nice if
(given that there is a git command) the build didn't fail after dgit
clone. Or if it at least bailed out in a more informative way.

So back to the original question, any plans for a backport?

Also, since I'm asking things, how about Vcs-* headers in source
package?

cheers, and thanks for working on i3.
