As I reviewd the 3.0[*] results, I noticed that the sources did not have
any of our own manual changes. Therefore the automatic patch generation
was not relevant here. The diff was mostly product of ./configure and
the build process:
Makefile.in => Makefile
etc.

Yes. The *-1.2 is a cosmetic cleanup to *-1.1 so everything is
included as they were. The *-1.2 in a nutshell:
- Correct changelog
- Get rid of auto generated 3.0 debian/patches
Thanks,
Jari
[*]
The 3.0 is in practise like this:
Compare original sources to the one in debian.
=> If changes, the process writes a quilt(1) compatible
patch in debian/patches/
The idea is that Debian specific changes, when they are not controlled
by a patching system (dpatch, quilt), are made visible. These changes can
then be made known to upstream; or the upstream can see them from the
Debian package WWW pages.
