Why would the diff be empty? I would think it should contain the debian subdir in any case. It makes no sense to ship a debian directory in generic source code released for RedHat, Windows, etc. (it would just uselessly increase the tarball size) so it might as well go into the Debian-specific diff.gz. Even as both upstream and maintainer, you (Brian Sutherland) might find it useful to keep Debian packaging stuff separate from the main body of code. Then if there is a bug in debian/rules, or Debian Policy is updated to mandate some new control field, you don't have to release an entirely new tarball just to fix a Debian-specific issue. regards, -- Kevin B.
