Lintian tag: patch-system-but-no-source-readme

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

This package build-depends on a patch system such as 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.

Please refer to Source package handling: debian/README.source (Section
4.14) in the Debian Policy Manual for details.
