Tim, Michele,
I noticed in Jessie was updated dpkg to version 0.17.5. This is a problem
for
the current package format in nightly-builds. See:
http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1782
The question is how to solve this problem in a relationship of the
approaching
release date of R14.0.0?
The structure of the version that we now use in nigthly-builds and which
is
similarly used for SRU versions (here we already use ~preXXX instead of
+rXXX), allows switch to quilt format. But to make such change in the
nightly-builds at this time? Or suspend building Jessie packages for this
time? Or in Jessie images on build-farm hold the previous version of dpkg
for
this time?
Note: As I mentioned in my script to prepare the source deb package I
already
use quilt format, so as soon as I'll begin prepare packages for R14.0.1,
the
problem with Jessie will be resolved for SRU. And it will be a better time
to
edit the script for nightly-builds packages.
What are your suggestions?

What exactly is required to switch to quilt format? Is this a simple
change to the dpkg-buildpackage call or something more complex?
Thanks!
Tim
