Several different systems / versions of this build-style are floating
around, with different features... i guess it's called "dpatch"
The one i've used for the galeon package uses a list file in
debian/patches where one can specify a certain order for the patches du
be applied (that definitely is a plus vs. your simple ls!)
Furthermore these patches do NOT need to be diff's which comes in _very_
handy for me with my experimental galeon-snapshot packages as i can use
perl or sed to replace a string completely...
I like this build style _very_ much, and can't await when we can use
just two tarballs for building (one upstream, one for the debian/ dir,
that's all i need) ;)
It's just a few lines in the debian/rules file.
Greetings,
Erich
