If you "document", what you do, you can also use sed during re-packaging
without a patch. I use some kind of script to create such tarballs.
See e.g.

http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debichem/unstable/openbabel/debian/watch?view=co&content-type=text%2Fplain
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debichem/unstable/openbabel/debian/get-orig-source.sh?view=co&content-type=text%2Fplain

You can re-use the script. Just replace line 19 and 20 with whatever you
need to do in your package.
