+The dma package uses quilt to maintain local changes to
+the dma distribution.  The Debian-specific patches are maintained
+in the debian/patches/ directory.
+
+To apply all the patches, preparing the source for building, use:
+  debian/rules patch
+
+To revert the patches, preparing to build a source package, use:
+  debian/rules unpatch
+
+You do not need to manually execute these targets when building
+the package; they are part of the debian/rules target chain.
+
+For more information on the quilt integration with Debian packages,
+as well as editing, adding or removing patches, please see
+the quilt documentation; in recent versions of the Debian package of
+quilt, start at the /usr/share/doc/quilt/README.source file.
