OK, that was unclear. I thought you meant modified by Debian (as
opposed to an unpatched upstream version).
But providing a URL for a user who has few resources (no web site...)
is more difficult than providing the source (in a non-automatic way)
when requested, if this is what you had in mind. At least something
else would need to be done in addition to just patching, rebuilding
and installing the package.
