When you patch a package locally, I'd recommend updating the package version at the same time by eg adding or incrementing an epoch (in 1:2.3-4, the epoch is the 1)
This will mean your local package version will be higher than any package update to the stable repositories. Note however it would be worth checking what was updated when ever such packages are updated, as the changes may be useful or important to you (to backport to your local package) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
