Bug#895758: lintian -- when is a patch a patch (HG)



Hi Chris,

I could have sworn that already not all files in the patch/ directory
trigger such a message. But as I understand you right now, this is not the
case yet. So I am fine with it ...

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean here. :)  Can you rephrase?

if I understand you right, this lintian warning will be triggered by any file that is in patches/ but has no corresponding entry in series.
This is fine and I also don't need an exception for "my" *.patch_back.

I filed this wishlist bug because I wrongly thought that there is some kind of whitelist for such not needed files.

Does that make more sense?
