I'd appreciate if it could handdle more than one diff file also.
That's the way rpm works and it would definatly solve our problems.
Just changing the .diff.gz file into a .diffs.tar.gz,
and adding in the .dsc the checksums of the patches and the order
in which they should be applied should be enough.
The rpm source format can also handdle more than one original
.tar, but maybe it is overkill for us? (although it allows to group in a
single package several small related utilities...)
