Hi David,

Steffen has documented on the wiki how to use the watch file to get the
upstream tarball in the <package>/ directory:

 From within the trunk folder execute:echo "origDir=.." >>
 .svn/deb-layout. To retrieve the latest version of the package, if the
 debian/watch file is correctly set, then execute "uscan" as usual.

 http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMed

What I do usually is to unpack the upstream sources and to « cp -a » the
debian directory in. I prepare the patches in this context, and commit
when I am satisfied with them.

Have a nice day,
