[config-package-dev] transform does not work on ubuntu trusty

[Jonathan D Reed]

No, that is correct, config-package-dev should be in Build-Depends in the control file.

Are you able to share your entire package build directory, including the debian/ directory?  That will probably make it easier for us to figure out what might be going wrong.

However, that's probably also a bad idea, since patch will still look for the source file (to be patched) on the filesystem.  There is, as far as I can tell, no good way to get patch to use stdin as the original (to-be-patched) file.
