Interesting! Are you going to do this in the R14
packaging tree as
well?
I assume that the change native => quilt could be used for the final R14
and
certainly for subsequent SRU in R14. In order to use quilt also for the
nightly-builds, it requires to modify scripts that you use to prepare
packages for nigtly-builds.
For example, it should need to change the version number used for base
tarball "orig.tar.bz2" because it is not possible to use dash for a
version
of "upstream" package on Debian. Instead of
14.0.0-0debian11+r274+pr2~wheezy
would have to be used, for example 14.0.0~r274 for the base tarball
orig.tar.bz2. And distribution specific version would in this case be:
14.0.0~r274-0debian11~wheezy.
It is therefore a question, whether is now a good time for such a change?
