[Debichem-devel] Bug#1129935: jmol: please drop the "quilt" build-depency, this is a '3.0 (quilt)' package

Source: jmol
Version: 16.2.33+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainers,

jmol has an extraneous/stale build-dependecy on 'quilt'.

With modern '3.0 (quilt)' packages this build-dependency
is not needed anymore: the task of applying the patches
at build-time is handled by dpkg itself.



Greetings

Alexandre
