The diff.gz is the compressed diff required to go from upstream tarball
(.orig.tar.gz) to buildable debian tree.
To unpack, you do

Peter,
How about this approach:
Packages including the executables (and whatever else is needed) are
called gri-_ (i.e. exactly your current scheme). These
*are* uploaded to debian.
The package gri-support_ contains the other stuff, currently in
your unversioned package, *except* that it doesn'

Technically no. Perhaps if it were in contrib.
Could you (re-)explain why this is a good idea?

Fork it.
Leave the current version (assuming it works, of course), in slink/frozen.
Keep a copy of the diff somewhere safe so if a release-critical pops up,
you can fix it.
Now change the doc-base stuff to accord with the potato debhelper (Aside:

I have been a debian developer for about two months now, but those two
