Bug#538676: libjavascript-beautifier-perl: FTBFS with new source format 3.0 (quilt): patch renamed file

[hertzog at debian.org]

Package: libjavascript-beautifier-perl
Version: 0.11-1
Severity: wishlist
Usertags: 3.0-quilt-by-default

To prepare a possible switch to the new source package format "3.0
(quilt)" [1], I converted all source packages and rebuilt the packages
afterwards to see what breaks, and libjavascript-beautifier-perl does break. To reproduce the
problem you can do this:
$ apt-get source libjavascript-beautifier-perl
$ mkdir -p libjavascript-beautifier-perl-0.11/debian/source
$ echo "3.0 (quilt)" >libjavascript-beautifier-perl-0.11/debian/source/format
$ dpkg-source -b libjavascript-beautifier-perl-0.11
$ dpkg-source -x libjavascript-beautifier-perl_0.11-1.dsc
$ cd libjavascript-beautifier-perl-0.11 && debuild -us -uc

In this process, if the .diff.gz contains changes to upstream files,
dpkg-source will have created a corresponding patch in
debian/patches/debian-changes-0.11-1 and will have registered that
patch in a quilt series (debian/patches/series, it is created if needed).
All the patches listed in the "series" file are applied directly during
the extraction (dpkg-source -x). quilt itself is used if available (and
will thus lead to the creation of the .pc directory), otherwise
dpkg-source applies the patches by itself. For more information about the
new source package format see the manual page dpkg-source(1).

In the case of libjavascript-beautifier-perl, one of the patch depends on some file being
renamed before hand. Don't do that but simply rename at install time (or
after install).

Cheers,
