Start with the current version in unstable (3.2.35-2), use 'dch' to add a new changelog entry, use 'quilt' to add your patches, then send either: - a debdiff between 3.2.35-2 and your new package (see the manual page for debdiff) - a tarball containing the added patches and new series file However, all changes must be justifiable as important bug fixes or support for new hardware. New features, cleanup, minor bug fixes etc. are not allowed, except if you need them as dependencies of the important changes. > Also, what should be values for Package and version when I open a bug > for this?
