Is there a common "best practice" procedure on how to deal with new upstream releases then? I imagine that I unpack an upstream tarball, put it under (D)RCS control and work on the debian/ directory. Then a new upstream tarball is released. Do I just unpack it and do a merge? How do tell my own patches (that I usually do in dpatch) from the upstream changes?
