Don't have a URL, but this will do:
diff -u <old-file> <new-file>
*or*
diff -u <old-dir> <new-dir>
Both spit their output to STDOUT, so you might want to do a redirect...
Thus:
1. cp -R debian/ debian-old/
2. make your modifications in the debian/ dir
3. check you changes by building the package
4. diff -u debian-old debian > patch.diff
