You should also update the debian/changelog file. the tool dch will
assist with this.
Add a new entry to describe the changes you are making and give it a
new version number.
probably something like 2.7.1-1+squeeze1~local-1. Though I do not
completely understand the nature of your changes and this may affect
how you change the version number.

As far as I am aware, the unpacked version will be clean (without
patches) the patches are applied as part of the build process.
I hope that helps (and is correct - I too am still learning).
