Should I remove it or not?
I'm not the upstream author, so I'm not supposed to touch in any way the
orig.tar.gz. No?

Yes, I already checked that before sending my last reply :-)

I already had some results using dpatch (and, seeing your work, you used
it too!).

Just a question: in my debian/rules I've put

include /usr/share/dpatch/dpatch.make

while in your debian/rules I read:

patch-stamp:
    dpatch apply-all
        touch $@

unpatch:
    dpatch deapply-all
        rm -rf patch-stamp debian/patched

which one is the most convenient way? Just to be sure on what to use in
the future. I believe the first (mine) is more "generic", but yours is
more concise. Are they the same? (/me goes to see what
/usr/share/dpatch/dpatch.make has inside)

Secondly, I've put everything which was to be deleted into a single
.dpatch file, and directly edited the files (so dpkg-source handles the
diff itself), while you deleted them by hand (maybe refactored the
orig.tar.gz?) and put the changes into different .dpatch's.

Thirdly, it seems like my autotools always regenerate ./configure.
Should I diff from the upstream one, or from the "debianized" one?
They're quite different (in fact, even with your patches, the
compilation stops because is looking for debian/Makefile*...)

I'll fix my package, and upload it again to mentors as soon as I figure
it out (see previous mails for the link).

Yes, I promise.  :-P
I also have intention to package the other ed2k-tools and, eventually,
make a meta-package to install them all.

Thanks for your help,
