Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.25
Severity: normal
Dear Lintian Hackers,
for format 1.0 source packages which occassionally need patching, I
prefer to keep quilt in the build-dependencies and
debian/rules. I also keep an empty debian/patches/series file.
But lintian still claims quilt-build-dep-but-no-series-file despite it
is surely not true that there is no series file.
So please suppress this warning if debian/patches/series is empty as
this is a sign that this was done deliberately.
In case you think there still could be cases where an empty
debian/patches/series file is not on purpose, feel free to add a
separate, maybe pedantic-level warning about that.
TIA!
P.S.: Soon to be uploaded test case: t-prot 3.2-1
