Hi,
Sometimes a diff file alone is not enough to change the
original sources to the debianized sources, permissions on
debian.rules is one that has been noted. I remember interim
"unofficial" version of perl being distributed as shell scripts that
performed a few actions (deleting/renaming files, etc), unshared to
the [atch file, and applied the patch.
Could this be useful? The dsc file could contain the
information just as Ian proposed, but say
% ./package.dsc
to generate the debian sources (with proper permissions for
debian.rules) from the orig and diff files automatically.
