If you like CVS you can think about using the package
cvs-buildpackage, which comes with a program named cvs-upgrade, which
merges a new upstream source package into an existing Debian source
tree. The only disadvantage of cvs-buildpackage is, that it has
problems with links in the upstream source package.
