This is my first patch; so I don't know whether it's the right way...
I apt-got source debhelper, and copied the source tree, made some
trivial changes, did a diff -urN to a file and tried patching the
original tree with patch -p1 and the new patch; it seemed to be all
right.
I have attached the patch, please tell me whether this is all
right. If it is, might be able to do this sort of work for other
Debian packages as well.
Thanks.
Kumar
