Bug#538684: libsdl-console: FTBFS with new source format 3.0 (quilt): patch removes makefile neede in clean target

[hertzog at debian.org]

Package: libsdl-console
Version: 1.3-5
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 libsdl-console does break. To reproduce the
problem you can do this:
$ apt-get source libsdl-console
$ mkdir -p libsdl-console-1.3/debian/source
$ echo "3.0 (quilt)" >libsdl-console-1.3/debian/source/format
$ dpkg-source -b libsdl-console-1.3
$ dpkg-source -x libsdl-console_1.3-5.dsc
$ cd libsdl-console-1.3 && 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-1.3-5 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 libsdl-console, the quilt patch removes the Makefile but the
clean target needs it. quilt patches are applied at extraction and thus
before clean is run.
