Please read the file source-unpack.txt which is put in the doc directory
of our ftp server.  It tells you to use either dpkg-source and shows
you the appropriate set of commands you have to enter if you're unpacking
the source manually.


You have to use "patch -p0" and create the debian subdirectory
before applying the patch.
