Devices and patches

Hi, First, sorry for my poor english. I have a couple of questions about debianize a program: The program needs a patch to be applied to the kernel... How can you mark this need in the package ? Should it be automatized? My second question: This program needs to create a device to run...

What program are you talking about? The program needs a patch to be applied to the kernel... How can you mark this need in the package ? Should it be automatized? It's a patch not included with the standard kernel source? I don't know if there's an official policy on what to do with these;

I've been browsing the manuals and onces saw some words about making a Package.gz file... but i cannot find it anymore (to bad the search engine is still off line :( )... Can anyone tell me where i can find (or what program to use) to generate such a Package.gz file? yours sincerely, Egon
