import-dsc does not add .pc directory to the commit

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

If import-dsc introduces applied quilt 3.0 patches, the respective .pc control directory is not added to the commit, instead they are reported as 'unknown' by bzr status. Thus resulting in a unexpected branch: patches applied yet .pc is inconsistent with applied patches.

I'm seeing this as well. Ideally, I'd like to have a flag to enable/disable (I don't really care which is default) if patches should be applied or not.

For anyone who comes after... Here's the quick hack I used just to work around it.

@ Andrew
You might want to look at these config options:
#quilt-tree-policy=unapplied
#quilt-commit-policy=unapplied

I actually want the patches to be applied to the tree and committed. Or does skiping patches application with dpkg-source, results in bzr-bd to somehow apply them later and stage for the commit?
