I think you may be a little bit confused about this. Everything not in the original source, *including* the debian/* files is reflected in the .diff file. So your debian/rules file, that does the trick, is reflected in the diff file. So, don't worry, in general this is the right thing to do. -- "e72022f34f6aa824eab32b7a92b63208" (a truly random sig)
