Daniel,

What I did was make two patches: One of them was purely a debdiff
against the original Hardy source package; whereas the other was a SVN
diff against the code in Debian's VCS. The first debdiff has been
submitted here and the second directly to Debian. I did this because I
would like to see the feature implemented, and I was uncertain as to
which project would implement it first.

That would explain the diverging changelog entries.

The debdiff one, of course, does not include SVN artifacts, since the
source package's archive did not include them.

This is the header from the SVN version:

Index: debian/changelog
===================================================================
--- debian/changelog    (revision 902)
+++ debian/changelog    (working copy)

Further divergences:
Hardy source package version: 2.10.11ubuntu3 (Upstream: 2.10.11)
SVN TRUNK version: 2.10.14
Number of entries between the two versions that have occurred: Three.

Maybe I am not understanding what you are asking, but I guess that I am
confused as to what you are asking for that's not already available in
SVN or the source package itself. Most of the time when submitting
patches to Launchpad, people prefer receiving debdiffs instead of VCS
diffs. That's why I submitted this patch as I did. Am I wrong?
