Why not just replace the upstream debian dir with your version in
diff.gz? Just because some tool (uupdate) might have problems with that?
In this case, I'd suggest to fix uupdate. A good approach would be to
move the upstream debian directory to "upstream-debian/", so that the
maintainer can have a look, but then delete it.
