I have never seen a package that does this apart from DFSG-freeness issues and a few beginner mistakes. The Debian changes are separated out in our source package format in a *.diff.gz, just as they are and were with the openssl package. windlord:~/tmp> lsdiff -z -x '*/debian/*' openssl_0.9.8g-10.diff.gz openssl-0.9.8g/Makefile openssl-0.9.8g/Configure openssl-0.9.8g/Makefile.shared openssl-0.9.8g/config openssl-0.9.8g/Makefile.org openssl-0.9.8g/openssl.ld openssl-0.9.8g/VMS/VMSify-conf.pl openssl-0.9.8g/Netware/do_tests.pl openssl-0.9.8g/apps/s_time.c openssl-0.9.8g/apps/CA.sh openssl-0.9.8g/apps/CA.pl.in openssl-0.9.8g/apps/speed.c openssl-0.9.8g/apps/CA.pl openssl-0.9.8g/os2/backwardify.pl openssl-0.9.8g/engines/Makefile openssl-0.9.8g/engines/openssl.ld openssl-0.9.8g/tools/c_rehash openssl-0.9.8g/tools/c_rehash.in openssl-0.9.8g/ssl/t1_lib.c openssl-0.9.8g/ms/uplink.pl openssl-0.9.8g/demos/tunala/configure.in openssl-0.9.8g/doc/Makefile openssl-0.9.8g/doc/apps/c_rehash.pod openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/Makefile openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/x86cpuid.pl openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/opensslconf.h openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/x86_64cpuid.pl openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/md5/asm/md5-x86_64.pl openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/md5/asm/md5-sparcv9.S openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/sha/sha.h openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/sha/asm/sha1-ia64.pl openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/sha/asm/sha512-sse2.pl openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/sha/asm/sha512-ia64.pl openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/rand/md_rand.c openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/des/asm/desboth.pl openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/rc4/asm/rc4-x86_64.pl openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/perlasm/x86unix.pl openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/perlasm/cbc.pl openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/perlasm/x86_64-xlate.pl openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/pkcs7/pk7_mime.c openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/bn/asm/ppc.pl openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/aes/asm/aes-586.pl openssl-0.9.8g/crypto/asn1/charmap.pl openssl-0.9.8g/util/mkerr.pl openssl-0.9.8g/util/clean-depend.pl openssl-0.9.8g/util/extract-names.pl openssl-0.9.8g/util/pod2man.pl openssl-0.9.8g/util/mkstack.pl openssl-0.9.8g/util/selftest.pl openssl-0.9.8g/util/extract-section.pl openssl-0.9.8g/util/mkdef.pl openssl-0.9.8g/util/pl/netware.pl That's why, when you run dpkg-source -x openssl_0.9.8g-10.dsc, you get output like: dpkg-source: extracting openssl in openssl-0.9.8g dpkg-source: info: unpacking openssl_0.9.8g.orig.tar.gz dpkg-source: info: applying openssl_0.9.8g-10.diff.gz -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
