Perhaps we should start keeping just the debian/ directory in bzr, with a script to build free upstream tarball if required?
I talked with Karl about this on IRC. The procedure to patch packages would be something like this:
1) apt-get source <package> 2) Merge our debian directory. 3) make get-orig-source 4) dch -i 5) dpkg-buildpackage 6) Upload.The xulrunner change can probably go in a debian/patches/ file. A get-orig-source rule [1] should only be necessary if we want to remove non-free code from the source tarball.
