Well, note that (1) is already possible and not even all that hard. That is, to have a .dpatch file whose purpose is to unpack the tarball on 'patch' and delete the tree on 'unpatch'. dpatch was written with that sort of flexibility in mind - it seems a shame not to use that flexibility for one of the few things it's actually good for. (I've always viewed that flexibility in dpatch to be a serious case of overengineering, but this is probably a valid use case.) Peter
