As well as using uupdate, I would also suggest that changes to upstream
files should be done using patches rather than changing the files
directly. This makes it far easier to keep track of what changes you
have made, particularly if many unrelated changes are needed.
Of course, if the patches are not Debian specific you should try to get
them incorporated upstream.
