The version number is determined by the changelog, debian/changelog. Take a look at the dch(1) command, or if you use emacs, the dpkg-dev-el package. > Second question, when using dpkg-buildpackage, it creates the diff.

What am I doing wrong, or not doing? I don't understand what you're asking here. You are making changes in the source tree, but they aren't reflected in the diff? That would be very strange indeed. -- - mdz
