Wait, are you patching files inside debian/? That won't fly.

Umpf, and, is that so evil? Esp for a NMU this is *very* good as it
allows to see what the changes of the NMU are ...


You're supposed to send a debdiff when NMUing. That's even better to see
what the changes of the NMU are (See devref §5.11.1). Personally, I find
patching files under debian/ directory makes things more difficult to
track (probably because I don't expect to find those changes there).
