[maemo-developers] Problem with quilt when rebuilding chinook package on autobuilder

[From: Glen Ditchfield]

The Chinook extras rebuild page [1] lists at least three packages that fail to 
rebuild because of problems with the quilt patch manager: libfont-ttf-perl, 
nfs-utils, and sdlpango.  All three declare build-depends on quilt; all three 
attempt to include a file in their debian/rules file 
(/usr/share/quilt/quilt.make or /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/patchsys-quilt.mk); 
all three builds fail because the file doesn't exist.  

quilt.make and patchsys-quilt.mk should be installed as part of the quilt 
package.  They are both present in the scratchbox on my computer.

I uploaded libfont-ttfperl directly to chinook-extras-builder, and it built 
successfully.  The only difference that I know of is that the package I 
uploaded to chinook-extras-builder was built with "dpkg-buildpackage -S -sa", 
while the package I uploaded to chinook-extras was built 
with "dpkg-buildpackage -i".  

Is this a problem with the extras assistant, or is there some problem with 
libfont-ttf-perl that I can fix?
