Hi Gianfranco, Your proposed debdiff doesn't seem to apply cleanly (did you actually test it?)...
dpkg-source: info: using source format `3.0 (quilt)' dpkg-source: info: building gridsite using existing ./gridsite_2.0.4.orig.tar.gz patching file src/htcp.c Hunk #1 FAILED at 59. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED dpkg-source: info: fuzz is not allowed when applying patches dpkg-source: info: if patch 'curl-defines.patch' is correctly applied by quilt, use 'quilt refresh' to update it dpkg-source: error: LC_ALL=C patch -t -F 0 -N -p1 -u -V never -g0 -E -b -B .pc/curl-defines.patch/ --reject-file=- < gridsite-2.0.4.orig.cAX2KS/debian/patches/curl-defines.patch gave error exit status 1 dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-source -b gridsite-2.0.4 gave error exit status 2 Aside from that, I have to say that I prefer Colin's proposed debdiff rather than yours; testing for older versions of curl rather than just getting rid of legacy code is the right approach and makes it easier to backport this package if desired.
