Hi Otto,

Thank you for adopting this package.

Since your move to the "3.0 (quilt)" format,
the build-depedency on quilt is not needed anymore.

Please drop this old dependency to help triage
the remaining users of "quilt" (a few are legit).

/tmp/mydumper-0.10.1$ grep quilt -r
debian/source/format:3.0 (quilt)
debian/control: quilt,
/tmp/mydumper-0.10.1$


PS: here's the current state of my QA script if that is of any interrest for you.


Greetings

Alexandre
