Package: acerhk-source
Version: 0.5.35-1

I tried to build the acerhk-modules package with module-assistant, but
it didn't work. Here is a transcript of what I did:

# m-a -t build acerhk
Extracting the package tarball, /usr/src/acerhk.tar.bz2, please wait...
debian/rules:6: /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/share/quilt/quilt.make'.  Stop.
debian/rules:6: /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/share/quilt/quilt.make'.  Stop.
BUILD FAILED!
See /var/cache/modass/acerhk-source.buildlog.2.6.24-1-686.1206897977 for
details.
Build failed. Press Return to continue...

The quilt package was not installed on my machine, as it is not a
dependency of acerhk-source. (It is only a build-dep)

But as module-assistant uses the same debian/rules file, which is used
when creating the acerhk-source package, /usr/share/quilt.make is still
needed to build the modules. Although the patches are AFAIK already
applied at that time.

Maybe, the best fix would be a change of debian/rules, to make sure that
quilt.make is only included when the acerhk-source package is created,
and not when building the modules. (e.g. by filtering the rules file
through sed instead of just copying it to
debian/$(psource)/usr/src/modules/$(sname)/debian/)

Best Regards

PS: This is my first bug report, I hope it isn't written too bad.
PPS: I'm glad that someone has packaged the acerhk-sources. I used to
build the module from some files copied out of an old kernel source
package of another linux distribution.
