I guess you are right that it does not make sense this way. I quite liked the way it works with this upstream branch and full source code but am not really sure I'll get to like the fact of hiding diffs somewhere in the depth of the SCM. I'll go with any way but if we decide to use the debian/ only way we'll really need some toolchain support. Regards Christoph
