Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools
I wrote up this page to describe one way to turn a Bazaar loom thread into a patch system patch:

It would be nice to be able to use edit-patch instead of quilt directly, but you also want edit-patch to accept the diff on stdin. To make this work correctly, at least with quilt, you'd need edit-patch to also supply quilt import's -P option to properly name the patch file it read from stdin.
Also, because bzr diff's default is -p0 but quilt import's default is -p1, you'd need edit-patch to accept quilt import's -p option to set the proper prefix level.
