Replace the debian/ directory with your own version. > Can I safely remove the existing debian-dir from the .orig.tar? When using source format 1.0, the only sane option is to repack the .orig.tar without the debian/ directory. If you use format 3.0 (quilt), this is not necessary. > What else can I do? Use format 3.0 (quilt), and the debian/ directory in the .orig.tar will automatically be ignored. See the "SOURCE PACKAGE FORMATS" section in dpkg-source(1).
