This directory lists patches used by the Debian package. It is not used by the normal Debian package build, as the patches are already applied by the .diff.gz all together. * If you are NMUing the Debian package: Just ignore this directory (unless it helps you to understand what I did). Everything applicaple to you .orig.tar.gz should already be in the .diff.gz you have. Just modify the actual code, submit a patch with what you did to the BTS and let me sort it out and include the patch in this directory. * If you do a locally modified package: Your choice. But you can savely ignore this directory. Nothing in the build system uses it. * If you are preparing a new version Start with the clean source from CVS. Choose which of the patches you want to apply and apply them. Copy the debian directory (without the CVS directories) and build.
