+The Debian packaging of farbfeld is maintained in git, using the merging
+workflow described in dgit-maint-merge(7). There isn't a patch
+queue that can be represented as a quilt series.
+
+A detailed breakdown of the changes is available from their
+canonical representation - git commits in the packaging repository.
+
+ % git clone https://git.dgit.debian.org/farbfeld
% cd foo
% git log --oneline 2.20170109-1..debian/2.20170109 -- . ':!debian'

+(If you have dgit, use `dgit clone foo', rather than plain `git
+clone'.)
+
+A single combined diff, containing all the changes, follows.
