Urgh, this is quite immature assertion, really. Could you please elaborate how to extract separate changes from your latter (all-in-all) diff.gz (since that is what Debian officially releases) and do you need any hints how to do it with the former diff.gz (I hope you don't)? > Really, we want things to be as clear as possible; and if that means > changes outside the debian directory, then *that is fine*.
