Paul, we'll talk about this later, when you'll have to update your package to a new upstream release, when the diff.gz may not apply cleanly and you'll end up seperating what's for upstream sources to what's for debian/ in the diff.gz and finally patching new upstream with a new patch... That is precisely the work I advise you to do in the first place: extracting a patch.. Sorry for giving you the impression that I overruled your will, but seriously we'll discuss this later and I'm really convinced that you may not have the same opinion. Now, let's look at the dpatched version :) Romain
