[Debichem-devel] Debian packages: removing deprecated dpatch

[jari.aalto at cante.net]

Hi,

The dpatch patch management system has been deprecated for some time.
The Lintian currently flags use of dpatch packages as an error.
The new 3.0 packaging format is an improved version which, among other
things, contains patch managemet quilt built-in[1].

The packages which are using old dpatch:

    apbs
    drawxtl
    easychem
    gausssum
    gdis
    gperiodic
    gromacs
    mopac7
    psicode
    qutemol
    xmakemol

I had some free time and I've removed dpatch and convert all patches
to the new package to format 3.0 quilt. The changes were quite
straight forward and don't much change the current style of packaging.

Please let me know how could I best help to upgrade the packages. I have
NMUs ready if you are working on other issues needing attention.

Thank you for maintaining software in Debian,
Jari
