# `patch-system-but-no-source-readme`

This package build-depends on a patch system such as dpatch or quilt, but there is no `debian/README.source` file. This file is recommended for any package where `dpkg-source -x` does not result in the preferred form for making modifications to the package.

If you are using quilt and the package needs no other special handling instructions, you may want to add a `debian/README.source` referring to `/usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source`. Similarly, you can refer to `/usr/share/doc/dpatch/README.source.gz` for dpatch.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
