The Debian packaging of debug-me is maintained in git, using the merging workflow described in dgit-maint-merge(7). There isn't a patch queue that can be represented as a quilt series. A detailed breakdown of the changes is available from their canonical representation - git commits in the packaging repository. For example, to see the changes made by the Debian maintainer in the first upload of upstream version 1.2.3, you could use: % git clone https://git.dgit.debian.org/debug-me % cd debug-me % git log --oneline 1.2.3..debian/1.2.3-1 -- . ':!debian' (If you have dgit, use `dgit clone debug-me`, rather than plain `git clone`.) A single combined diff, containing all the changes, follows. --- debug-me-1.20181208.orig/debug-me.init +++ debug-me-1.20181208/debug-me.init @@ -33,7 +33,7 @@ case "$1" in start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo \ --background --no-close \ --pidfile "$PIDFILE" --make-pidfile \ - --chuid debug-me:debug-me \ + --chuid _debug-me:_debug-me \ --exec "$DAEMON" -- $DAEMON_PARAMS \ > /var/log/debug-me.log log_end_msg $? --- debug-me-1.20181208.orig/debug-me.service +++ debug-me-1.20181208/debug-me.service @@ -8,8 +8,8 @@ EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/debug-me ExecStart=/usr/bin/debug-me $DAEMON_PARAMS InaccessiblePaths=/home /etc ReadWritePaths=/var/log/debug-me -User=debug-me -Group=debug-me +User=_debug-me +Group=_debug-me StandardInput=null StandardOutput=journal StandardError=journal
