question on packaging when not software maintainer

[Olivier Sallou <olivier.sallou@irisa.fr>]

Hi,
I have a question regarding packaging when we are not the software 
maintainer.

I am packaging a software (GBrowse) but I am not the developper of the 
software. To create a correct package, I need to update the install scripts.
I wonder how this should be manage:

- Should I keep the watch file on remote server to track new releases, 
put in Debian SVN the specific install scripts, and specify in 
README.Debian that specific scripts should be copied in untar'd orig 
source file before builing package ?

- Should I create a get-orig-source that gets the remote code, replace 
whatever is needed and create an orig-source-file ?

- Or should I put the whole source file in SVN, and take in charge the 
updates of the code ? (not fond of this solution)


Thanks

Olivier
