Bug#1017951: lintian: Recognize cherry-picked patches as forwarded upstream
Source: lintian
Version: 2.115-2
I use this packaging workflow where I have fetched an upstream git remote:
gbp pq import
git cherry-pick -x 123456
gbp pq export
This creates Debian patches that have this line
(cherry picked from commit 12345)
Although this doesn't strictly follow DEP-3, I think it complies with
the general idea and I don't think these patches should get tagged as
patch-not-forwarded-upstream

Thank you,
