E patch-modifying-debian-files
A patch stored in debian/patches/ modifies or creates files
in the debian folder, but that folder is already under the
maintainer's exclusive control.
It may be more appropriate to patch or create files in the upstream
directory hierarchy, but often it is easier to place a copy in the
debian folder.
The tag is present in Lintian version 2.114.162.
That is the most recent version we know about.
We use semantic versions.
The patch number is a commit step indicator relative to the
2.114.0
release tag in our Git
repository.
You can find the detection logic for this version at commit c1c05b0. For merge requests, please use the latest version in the Lintian check debian/patches/quilt.
