Perhaps it is worthwhile also updating your apt URIs too, then?

because I found that somewhat odd.

Well I did a quick check on samplerate and I couldn't see any
modifications at all. I'm sure both the maintainer (me) and upstream
would love to know about them so we can make both your and openwengo's
lives easier.

Actually, they might also be worthwhile finding out the changes done and
seeing if they can be incorporated into the Debian version of the
library.  It may be a bit of work upfront, but it should make things
simpler in the long run.
