Can you elaborate on your objection?

Having patches applied by default is one of the main reasons why
people asked for a new source package format. It's very disconcerting for
most people to call dpkg-source -x and then not have the sources as they are
built by Debian.

Thus I believe that the current approach is the right one: apply by
default and let people with special needs use some options.

Can you agree with that? If not, can you explain why you don't agree?

Cheers,
