  Description     : Debian packaging aid to create patch packages

 This package aims to create packages which replace files
 of another package. If you want to create some tuned packages
 based on another debian package and if chagnes of your tuned
 packages are only few files of the package, then
 your tuned packages would consist of only these few
 files and share other files with its original packages.
 This package is considered as patch package to these original
 packages.
 .
 You can create packages which simply overwrite files of
 another package easily, and also create diversion-enabled packages,
 that is, these original files which are changed by your tuned packages
 will be diverted before installing yours and will be recovered
 after removing yours automatically.
