Fine. Should the patch go to patch-tmp or patch-xdvi-370505 (or
something else, patch-src?!). BTW, README.patches is out-of-date:

,----[ README.patches ]
| 5. patch-tmp
| ============
| - currently none
`----

but:

% ls -l debian/patches/patch-tmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 flo users 4474 2006-06-05 15:13 debian/patches/patch-tmp

I have other questions about patches.

  1. Why does README.patches say this:

       A file may only be changed in _one_ of them. For quilt usage,
       check its manpage or README.Developers.

     The quilt docs make it clear that a file can be changed by several
     patches... Precaution?

  2. quilt.html also says this:

       Documentation related to a patch can be put at the beginning of a
       patch file. Quilt is careful to preserve all text that precedes
       the actual patch when doing a refresh.

     Maybe that could be used instead of README.patches. I don't claim
     it would be better, I just don't know if you knew about this
     possibility when starting to document the individual patches in
     README.patches.
