[PATCH] describe quilt headers in Debian Med Policy
Hi, Andreas,
I've put together a patch (attached) for the Debian Med Policy to
describe the creation of quilt headers in the "handling patches"
section. I think it will be helpful to newcomers who are following the
quilt directions there when doing their packaging work.
If you note somewhere a preferred way of contributing to the policy, I
will be sure to follow that in the future. I may have other suggested
changes.
Regards
Afif
