A suggestion (maybe: recommendation:).

Well, if I'm reading the diff correctly (and I may not be):
--- dibbler-0.4.0.orig/debian/dibbler-client.conffiles
+++ dibbler-0.4.0/debian/dibbler-client.conffiles
@@ -1 +0,0 @@
-/etc/dibbler/client.conf
Doesn't that mean that dibler-client.conffiles is having that line
removed from it (when you apply this diff)? I guess it doesn't
matter, and I am probably just overthinking it, since you intend to
include ./debian/ in the upstream package. Then, this diff is
meaningless.
