+Tag: format-3.0-but-debian-changes-patch
+Severity: warning
+Check: debian/patches/quilt
+Explanation: This package declares source format 3.0 (quilt), but the Debian
+ .debian.tar.gz file contains a debian-changes-VERSION patch, which represents
+ direct changes to files outside of the <code>debian</code> directory. This often
+ indicates accidental changes that weren't meant to be in the package or changes
+ that were supposed to be separated out into a patch.
+ .
+ If this is intentional, you may wish to consider adding
+ <code>single-debian-patch</code> to <code>debian/source/options</code>, and/or a patch
+ header to <code>debian/source/patch-header</code> explaining why this is done.
