Version: 49.1-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I see very little users of dh_quilt_patch left.
This is normal: this step is handled by dpkg on "3.0 (quilt)" packages
and dh_quilt_patch became a no-op.
I will try to finish remove this old helper.
Please have a look a the changes suggested hereunder.
Greetings
Alexandre
