In that case the right "repository" could be a bugreport to the package
involved. That way the diff submission is guaranteed. If the diff turns
out to be defective, then this can be explained in that bugreport, and
a corrected diff submitted later -- and the package maintainer gets
the warm happy glow of nuclear catastrophe having been avoided.
