Package: libvorbis
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: no longer builds from source

Hi,

something changed in quilt that changed the return value if no patch
series is found. This breaks your "quilt push -a || test $$? = 2"
command in debian/rules.

Since libvorbis has no patches at all the simplest solution seems to
be to remove quilt completly. There is little point in build-depending
on quilt and have it do nothing. Policy says Build-Depends should be
minimal and this is not.

MfG
