Does upstream distribute a *.tgz or *.tar file?
If not, I wouldn't worry. You cannot maintain prestine source in this
case anyway. I think that is the main benifit on using diff files.
Can you have a Debian package, without a diff, but with a debian
revision? I think you would have to force dpkg-buildpackage to upload
full source, for instance, with the -si or -sa option (not sure which
one).
