I'm in a situation where upstream tarball is not very nice; e.g. it's shipped with 3MB of dependencies, most of which are already packaged. I suppose a patch has no meaning here, since it consists in removing the dependencies from the tarball. Another patch consists in correcting the makefile to use already installed libraries instead of rebuilding them. That one could be meaningfull. Is doing a get-orig-source taking care of cleaning up upstream a good solution ?
