If you "document", what you do, you can also use sed during re-packaging without a patch. I use some kind of script to create such tarballs. See e.g. http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debichem/unstable/openbabel/debian/watch?view=co&content-type=text%2Fplain http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debichem/unstable/openbabel/debian/get-orig-source.sh?view=co&content-type=text%2Fplain You can re-use the script. Just replace line 19 and 20 with whatever you need to do in your package. Regards, Daniel -- NEU: FreePhone 3-fach-Flat mit kostenlosem Smartphone!
