Oh. Andrew, modifications you make to the upstream files are supposed to be done in one of two ways (and directly removing files from the gbp repository is not a way): - repackage upstream tarball to exclude files for DFSG reasons The simplest way to do that is through [0] and uscan. The fact a upstream tarball was repackaged is advertised in the version of the debian package, like 3.0.1+dfsg-1 - modification of files to fix something this must be done using patches (with a DEP-3 format) in debian/patches, the tool of choice being quilt. Tell me if you need references or explanations.
