[Parted-maintainers] Bug#504355: parted: patches applied directly to source package while patch system exists

[Colin Watson]

Package: parted
Version: 1.8.8.git.2008.03.24-11
Severity: normal

I happened to notice that Guido Günther's multipath and device-mapper
map type detection patches are applied directly to the source package,
rather than using the patch system that's in place. Now, *personally* I
happen to be no fan of patch systems, but when one is already in place
for a given package it seems excessively confusing not to continue with
that practice. Could you please use a dpatch file or files in
debian/patches/ instead?

The affected files are libparted/arch/linux.c and
include/parted/linux.h.

Thanks,
