Re: Bug#250202: Standardizing make target for 'patch' and 'upstream-source'
Hi,
Thanks for getting up a very nice summary.

I agree to your point; I don't think it will be an end-all to
have a dpkg supporting multiple source.
Considering the freedom of implementation and cost of implementation;
I am thinking that a common-alias target for preparing the debian patched
source code is the best.
As a transition period, I am evaluating whether it is feasible
to prepare a list of commands required for each package to be
unpacked and patched.
