packages using dpatch, 50 using cdbs, and 76 using quilt. I
didn't check for duplicates, but that's probably close to 141
packages that I prefer not to work on (22%).  IIRC there's some
pushing for us to move toward using quilt more. If that means
less packages using dpatch, that's a small improvement (dpatch
sucks more than quilt). If it means more packages that didn't
use any of these using quilt, that's even more packages I will
prefer not to work on in the future.  > 2) You say that you

Is it the .git.tar.gz concept or something else?  I think/hope I
explained the why in
