Yes. This is really better.
Is best if you have fixes and improvements in two or more patches.

I suggest instead of plain patches try to use arch or bazaar and
make one branch for each feature. Then you can sync your patches
easier and is a lot easier for dpkg hackers merge them too.
Of course, use the development branch for include new features
since it will probably be moved to unstable when sarge goes out.
