Yes, please use quilt or dpatch (for all patches, not only a few then).

Maybe you should differentiate between your own personal working-copies
and releases to Debian; for the sake of readability.

Well, allright.

How about the other issues I mentioned? 

- I guess it will save much work if you simply threw out mpdvdkit off
the tarball, rename it '+dfsg' or alike, and remove all the checks for
the origin of the source etc. I mean, it's a Debian release and thus
should expect a dfsg-cleaned tarball; nothing more or less. Hm?

- Nevertheless the debian/rules file is still nearly unreadable. There
is no consistency in the style of commenting and indentation, lots of
empty line etc. The same applies to the README.Debian* files (of course
this would also clean up a little bit, if you reduced to the
dfsg-source).

Again I offer you help to clean up those files. Especially the README.*
files since they are expected to be read by the _users_.

Hope to hear from you. ;)

Cheers,
Fabian
