deb3                                              Dec 25, 2012                                           deb3(1)

       deb3  converts  debian  source  packages  which  use series of patches from 1.0 format to new 3.0 (quilt)
       format while adjusting contents in debian/patches.  This is run from the package top level directory.  If
       run without argument, deb3 guesses source structure.  Following formats are auto detected.

       o  dh_quilt_patch/dh_quilt_unpatch

       o  dpatch

       o  cdbs (simple-patchsys.mk)

       o  dbs (dbs-build.mk)

       deb3 - convert debian source package to new 3.0 (quilt) format

deb3 [quilt|dpatch|0|1|2]

       This deb3 program only provides a starting point. After its execution, further modifications  are  needed
       to your package. Typical changes are:

       o  Build-Depends:  you  should  remove  cdbs,  dpatch  and  quilt.  Instead, you should add debhelper(>=7.0.50~)

       o  Add override_dh_* targets to debian/rules to address special cases.

       o  Remove --withquilt from the debian/rules, if it uses the dh$@ syntax.

       You can find tutorial for packaging using this new dh$@ style and new 3.0 (quilt) source format  in  the
       maint-guide package.  It is also available at:
