Lintian tag: direct-changes-in-diff-but-no-patch-system

Type: pedantic

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The Debian diff.gz contains changes to files or creation of additional
files outside the debian directory. Keeping the changes as separate
patches under the control of a patch system allows for more fine grained
control over them. The package will also more easily support possible
future source package formats if all changes outside the debian directory
are stored as patches.

If the diff only creates new files that can be copied into place by the
package build rules, consider putting them in the debian directory rather
than using a patch system.
