[Build-common-hackers] Bug#330805: cdbs-edit-patch doesn't support --debianonly

[Charles Fry]

Package: cdbs
Version: 0.4.32
Severity: wishlist

Currently cdbs-edit-patch doesn't support the equivilant of the
--debianonly flag to dpatch-edit-patch. More specifically, it assumes
that the entire package is unpacked in the current directory, which is
not always the case, for example when svn-buildpackage is used in
mergeWithUpstream mode.

Such support (in fact, something more in line with dpatch-edit-patch in
every way) would be appreciated.
