I assume you meant s/dpatchs/quilt/. Can you back up that assertion? It's true that quilt has a lot of patches applied but AFAIK there's only one new significant feature that is not in the upstream git repository. We have certainly not changed anything that would lead to a quilt tree being unusable by another quilt. And FWIW the new feature I'm thinking about is "quilt shell" which you should most certainly appreciate if you're a dpatch-edit-patch lover. >From my point of view this assertion is thus wrong-headed. The number of patches is more a sign of 1/ the Debian maintainer being too busy to do his job properly 2/ the upstream authors who are not very active either and haven't made a release in years with quite some changes in their git repository. FWIW the call for help is always open: #543541 The two persons who offered help quickly dropped away too.
