Steve, I'd like to make this change.
What are your thoughts?
The patches-applied directory is an artifact of when I maintained PAM in
CVS, and at that time pam was stored in a patches-applied format, but I
kept a copy of the patches to make my life easier when I updated to new
upstreams.
When Steve migrated to bzr he moved to patches unapplied but kept the
directory prefix.
That said, while working on the package, I did notice that dh-quilt had
a couple of advantages over gbp pq that I'm failing to remember now.
Overall I prefer debian/patches, but want to check with Steve.
