Just for the record -- I looked at the source package of gcl 2.6.7-36.1 a couple days ago, and it's a big mess. The orig.tar.gz is smaller than the debian.diff, that patches nearly every file. Also the debian/ directory contains garbage like this: $ ls debian/.#* debian/.#changelog.1.220.2.1.4.1.2.1.2.1.2.2.2.1.2.19.2.207.2.23.2.11.2.14.2.13.4.7.2.22.2.97 debian/.#control..1.2.2.1.2.5.6.1.2.1.2.3.2.8 debian/.#control.1.35.4.1.4.5.6.1.2.1.2.5.2.8 debian/.#control.cvs.1.1.2.1.2.5.6.1.2.1.2.3.2.8 debian/.#rules.1.41.4.2.2.7.4.1.2.1.2.2.2.1.2.8 But that's minor. Well, I am glad I don't have to touch and maintain such a thing.
