Maybe. What I'd need in the hypothetical case of padre needing an 
update in stable will be a patch, not a whole upstream release. Not 
thet a branch won't help, but it might be an overkill. We'll see when 
(if) that time comes.

The user-visible changes are documented in a file named README.Debian 
and shipped in /usr/share/doc/padre by the package (this is what the 
Debian practices recommend). Literal patches can be seen in the Git 
repository of the package (as patch files, not commits), in the source 
package (apt-get source padre) or at 
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/padre (available also per 
package version). Each patch has an explanatory header that should be 
enough to understand why the patch is needed.

If something more is needed or if you want me to put the above 
information in the wiki, please suggest the right place for that (or 
for the link if a separate page is more appropriate).
