I'm just switching from the BOGUS distribution to Debian--so please be patient with me ;-)
BOGUS has so called Notes files while Debian has diffs. The BOGUS Notes files are separated in sections and subsections; Debian has pre- and post-scripts: both these meta-Makefile are quite similar in the end... But there is one point I do not understand: why do you think is it necessary to repack all the original .tar.gz files and to include the diffs??? Why not simlpy make a distribution of all the untouched .tar.gz files, accompanied with the diff files (and the the binary tree wiht .deb files, of course)? hello-1.3.tar.gz and hello-1.3-0.diff.gz (or hello-1.3-1.diff.gz, or hello-1.3-2.diff.gz, and so on) should be enough. Thanks for the time, Karl.
