Dear Raphael,

Is this what you mean?

- Have a branch upstream, and upstream-patched
- Make upstream stay in sync with the upstream tarball. Merge it with
debian-patches
- Use the differences between these branches to generate
debian/patches, which can be wrapped around
quilt/dpatch/simple-patchsys?

Thanks.

Kumar
