I have just applied a debian .diff.gz to a newer upstream tar ball.
Although the patch succeeded, any comments or pointers for discussion
about this process would be appreciated. I do believe that my case was
easy because the newer upstream tar ball was only slightly different
from Debian's (old) .orig.tar.gz.
Anyway, what I did was:
1. gunzip -c nut_1.2.1-2.diff.gz > nut_1.2.1-2.diff
2. tar -xzf nut-1.2.2-pre2.tar.gz
3. (cd nut-1.2.2; ./configure)
3. patch --verbose -p1 -d nut-1.2.2 < nut_1.2.1-2.diff
