This package uses quilt to manage all modifications to the upstream source. Changes are stored in the source package as diffs in debian/patches-applied and applied during the build. Please see: /usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source for more information on how to apply the patches, modify patches, or remove a patch. If you patch a man page or other XML documentation in the package, it is important to include a patch both to the xml file and the resulting nroff or other sources in your patch. much of the man pages is installed in Multi-Arch: same packages, so the resulting documents need to be identical. The best way to guarantee this is to include the resulting document in the source.p -- Sam Hartman , Wed, 3 Feb 2021 12:26:39 -0500
