+Tag: patch-system-but-direct-changes-in-diff
+Severity: warning
+Check: debian/patches
+Explanation: The package uses a patch system, but the Debian diff.gz contains
+ changes to files or creation of additional 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. The package will also more easily support
+ possible future source package formats if all changes outside the
+ <code>debian</code> directory are stored as patches.
