Package: libdrm
Version: 2.4.11-1
Severity: wishlist
Usertags: 3.0-quilt-by-default
To prepare a possible switch to the new source package format "3.0
(quilt)" [1], I converted all source packages and rebuilt the packages
afterwards to see what breaks, and libdrm does break. To reproduce the
problem you can do this:
$ apt-get source libdrm
$ mkdir -p libdrm-2.4.11/debian/source
$ echo "3.0 (quilt)" >libdrm-2.4.11/debian/source/format
$ dpkg-source -b libdrm-2.4.11
$ dpkg-source -x libdrm_2.4.11-1.dsc
$ cd libdrm-2.4.11 && debuild -us -uc
In this process, if the .diff.gz contains changes to upstream files,
dpkg-source will have created a corresponding patch in
debian/patches/debian-changes-2.4.11-1 and will have registered that
patch in a quilt series (debian/patches/series, it is created if needed).
All the patches listed in the "series" file are applied directly during
the extraction (dpkg-source -x). quilt itself is used if available (and
will thus lead to the creation of the .pc directory), otherwise
dpkg-source applies the patches by itself. For more information about the
new source package format see the manual page dpkg-source(1).
In the case of libdrm, it contains changes in .diff.gz
that is either not wanted or that should be in a separate quilt
patch instead of there.
For fbi: Make.config ends up in the debian diff and is recreated by clean
target before patch application
For libdrm: it remove Changelog in .diff.gz, before it leads to empty
files, now it's removed (and the build fails later)
For libxcomposite: quilt patches depends on changes in the diff.gz and
hence the quilt patches do not apply anymore when the prerequesite patch
ends up at the end of the series.

No, I was wrong. The package is fine, it's a bug in dpkg-source that
lead to the disparition of the file. If you try with git's version of it,
it works again. Sorry for the noise.
