[edit-patch] producing wrong file when creating patch name ending with dot

[Mahyuddin Susanto]

[edit-patch] producing wrong file when creating patch name ending with dot, for example 02_fix_FTBFS_GCC_4.6

to produce this errors:
$ pull-lp-source packages
$ cd packages-version
$ edit-patch 02_fix_FTBFS_GCC_4.6

patches file produces 02_fix_FTBFS_GCC_4 not 02_fix_FTBFS_GCC_4.6, see https://launchpadlibrarian.net/80055444/clutter-gesture_0.0.2.1-2ubuntu2.dsc.debdiff

That's because the scripts attempts to normalize patch extension. Currently, everything is stripped off until the first period, inclusive.

normalize_patch_extension() {
...
    PATCHNAME=${PATCHNAME%.*}
}

This is done to ensure that the correct extensions for quilt/dpatch/cdbs are appended.

Your issue is valid but I'm not quite sure what the solution would be.
