If you run uscan BingAerialTileSource.java will be removed from the original tarball due to the Files-Excluded directive. In conjunction with your patch there shouldn't be any code left that won't compile. The Debian package is always the original tarball + Debian changes (the debian directory). > 2. remove "BingAerialTileSource.java" and modify "Demo.java" both using > quilt patches I would go for 1. Just repack the tarball and add +dfsg to the version number. Regards, Markus
