So you will not have all patches applied only, if you are using a patch system like dpatch or quilt - which for format 1.0 had nothing to do with dpkg-source. > > Does this refer to using some > > external patch system like dpatch? > > Not mandatory.

This is true for the 3.0 format, but not for 1.0, or am I missing something?
