I would suggest overrides (debhelper 7.0.50 and later supports this), though if you changed the source code then I would suggest using quilt to do it.
I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to accomplish, so perhaps explaining that is a better place to start. If you are patching upstream code for redistribution, leave the source intact and edit it through quilt. Then use the "--with quilt" target (available in debhelper 7.0.8 and later) like so: %: <TAB>dh --with quilt $@ For a tutorial on how to use quilt, you can see what the pkg-perl group uses as a reference: http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/howto/quilt.html Once you do this, you will be able to build the package as per normal (via dpkg-buildpackage) and quilt will be run as appropriate. Come to think about it, my initial response about using overrides is probably a red herring. You probably want to just use quilt, which does not require overrides at all. Here is a reference I wrote on using debhelper in some common (Perl-package-specific mostly) scenarios, for example if you need to remove a file from installation. http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/debhelper.html Hope this helps.
