Package: dh-kpatches
Version: 0.99.35
Severity: wishlist

Yann,

thank you for maintaining dh-kpatches over the years.

To benefit from the wonders of make-kpkg I today tried to debianize a 3rd party 
kernel patch.  I read the info available for dh_installkpatch but it is
missing instructions on how to create all files except for $patchname.kpatch.  
maint-guide or google were not helpful either.  When I run dh_installkpatches 
the script complains about a missing debian/rules file.  Other people seemed to 
have had similar problems as can be seen in 
http://groups.google.de/group/linux.debian.user/browse_thread/thread/c365f7c55522cc55/fe2cd2b8f6f69681?q=dh_installkpatches&rnum=5&hl=de#fe2cd2b8f6f69681
 for 
example.  There seems to be no information to be had anywhere on the web on how 
to do this.

Please include such information in the documentation for the dh-kpatches 
package.  Thank you.

Regards

Rolf
