# `patch-system-but-direct-changes-in-diff`

The package uses a patch system, but the Debian diff.gz contains changes to files or creation of additional 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. The package will also more easily support possible future source package formats if all changes outside the `debian` directory are stored as patches.

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