Bug#585657: lintian: info message for more-than-one-patch-system can be misleading



Package: lintian
Version: 2.4.1
Severity: minor


W: upx-nrv source: more-than-one-patch-system
N:
N:    The build-dependencies list more than one patch system and it's unlikely
N:    that you need both at the same time.
N:
N:    Currently lintian knows only dpatch and quilt.
N:
N:    Severity: minor, Certainty: certain


It's not true, the build dependencies for upx-nrv (3.05, just being
uploaded) lists dpatch only. The packge however uses the `3.0 (quilt)'
source format (but actually doesn't use quilt).

Regards,
robert
