# `format-3.0-but-debian-changes-patch`

This package declares source format 3.0 (quilt), but the Debian .debian.tar.gz file contains a debian-changes-VERSION patch, which represents direct changes to files outside of the `debian` directory. This often indicates accidental changes that weren't meant to be in the package or changes that were supposed to be separated out into a patch.

If this is intentional, you may wish to consider adding `single-debian-patch` to `debian/source/options`, and/or a patch header to `debian/source/patch-header` explaining why this is done.

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