Bug#553207: lintian: wrong patch-system-but-no-source-readme when using quilt with 3.0 (quilt) source packages
Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.17
Severity: normal
I just built and uploaded my first 3.0 (quilt) source package
and aside from unsupported-source-format (#552707) I also get:
W: ftplib source: patch-system-but-no-source-readme
This warning is wrong since with this source format the quilt
patch is auto-applied by dpkg-source -x and we don't need any special
instruction.
Cheers,
