Nevertheless, maybe we should define the upstream version in an external
file and add a target that upgrades the package to a user defined upstream
version. This would include to cp the whole source tree to a directory names
${pkgname}-${version} (e.g. cp -r mozilla-thunderbird-1.0.2 to
mozilla-thunderbird-1.0.6), upgrade the upstream tarball, remove the old
upstream tarball (e.g. rm
${pkgname}-${oldversion}/archives/${sourcetarball-prefix}-${version}-${sourcetarball-postfix}.
The final steps would be to produce a new orig.tar.gz (tar cvzf
${pkgname}_${uversion}.orig.tar.gz
${pkgname}-${version}/archives/) and prepend some boilerplate code to the
debian/changelog file (e.g. a valid entry, with an initial comment: new
upstream version ${version}).
What do you think?

please no dependencies. The upgrade tarball is a manual operation and should
not be done automatically ... in any case.
