Can you tell me the best way to apply these patches? I tried: $ apt-get source hw-detect # apt-get build-dep hw-detect $ cd hw-detect-1.159/ $ mkdir debian/patches and copying the three .patch files there, followed by: $ debuild -b -uc -us I was hoping that would patch it automatically, but no such luck.
I don't know much about packaging, but comparing with other packages you may need to add the patch names to a file debian/patches/series. Or I guess you could just apply the patches manually with patch -p1 < patch" before building the package.
