After some thinking I believe this isn't a good idea. I think the right way to include a new component or to update one is to bump the package source version. Something like: dovecot_1.2.7+plugin1.orig-libsieve.tar.gz This avoids to let dpkg-source (and the maintainer also) confused when you try to build the source, because it uses a completely new namespace. Moreover I think that the orig tarball should not be changed without a version bump, even if it is composed by multiple files. Any comments?
