Do you know any DDs personally, say through a local LUG, past social engagements, or even just a DD that you talk to socially through e-mail or IRC? It's a lot harder to turn down a sponsorship request made to you personally by someone you know socially. (Experience talking here).

I don't think it is patch that is doing the complaining. $ tar xvzf edsadmin-0.8.1.orig.tar.gz $ mv edsadmin-0.8.1.orig edsadmin-0.8.1 $ zcat edsadmin_0.8.1-2.diff.gz | patch -p0 patching file edsadmin-0.8.1/debian/changelog patching file edsadmin-0.8.1/data/Makefile patching file edsadmin-0.8.1/config.status $ dh_clean seems to kill that directory.

Mark Roach: > These are native packages i.e. The debian packaging info is part of > the upstream tarball (I am the author). It is my understanding that > since there is no difference between upstream and packaged versions > no diff is necessary... isn't this right? When I've released upstream software and Debian versions at the same time, and where Debian wasn't the primary "platform", I have included the debian subdirectory in the upstream tarball, but I have created it as a regular Debian package, meaning that -1 got an empty diff. When I subsequently released a -2, still from the upstream CVS, I did generate a diff, relative to the -1 release. That diff was then quite small (only the -2 release in the changelog file, plus the minor fixes to other files). In the upstream CVS, I have the debian subdirectory on a separate branch, so that if the main author releases a tarball, it will be released without the debian subdirectory, and I can then create a tarball as usual. I've found that this works quite well.

If your only distribution you ever plan on supporting is Debian, then maybe it is. However, making upstream releases to fix Debian-only issues (including, possibly, nothing more than a recompile for a new ABI) is a serious pest. You can do all of the Debian-specific maintenance in a separate "debian" branch of your revision control system (you do *use* a good revision control system, don't you?) and make regular orig+diff packages. Trust me on this -- unless your package is *really* Debian-specific, you're much better off with orig+diff packages.
