[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#485253: Bug#485253: mailman: FTBFS when converted to new source format 3.0 (quilt): require -p0 for some patches

Hi Raphael,

I've briefly looked into this. I've updated our quilt usage to match the
above and since it doesn't break exising functionality I've committed it.
However, the package doesn't build yet with format 3.0, see for output
below.

As said I haven't dived into the format further yet.


cheers,
Thijs
