Hi, @legovini

I want to ask about this in detail.

A. Use quilt

  1. we can just drop patch by dep3 tag, when the proper fix lands upstream.
  2. we can run pep8 (all) until the proper fix lands upstream.
  3. we needs to merge in new upstream release until the proper fix lands upstream.
  4. the source of package is more different than the original code.

B. Not use quilt

  1. we needs to revert debian/rules by our memory, when the proper fix upstream.
  2. we can't run pep8 (only E117) until the proper fix lands upstream.
  3. we can merge more simply in new upstream release.
  4. the source of package has no difference with the original code.

In my opinion, I think 1. is more useful for the future by A-1.

But you worry about A-4/B-4? If so, I'm going to try to drop this differences by skip pep8/E117.
