+Tag: quilt-patch-missing-description
+Severity: info
+Check: debian/patches/quilt
+Explanation: quilt patch files should start with a description of patch. All
+ lines before the start of the patch itself are considered part of the
+ description. You can edit the description with <code>quilt header -e</code>
+ when the patch is at the top of the stack.
+ .
+ As well as a description of the purpose and function of the patch, the
+ description should ideally contain author information, a URL for the bug
+ report (if any), Debian or upstream bugs fixed by it, upstream status,
+ the Debian version and date the patch was first included, and any other
+ information that would be useful if someone were investigating the
+ patch and underlying problem. Please consider using the DEP 3 format for
+ this information.
