I cannot tell why some directory you need to remove. I just want an interpretable diff.gz :) What happens if you take a brand new source tree and just move the current debian folder over to that one. Will it produce a working package? If so, then I suggest to go for that approach and leave old sources in. >> A file debian/README.source should explain all the differences done to the >> source tree for its inclusion to Debian.
