Hi.

I'm currently thinking that it might (most probably) usefull in the
future if we moved all the patching of the upstream source I've done to
use dpatch (or a similar mechanism given that dpatch has been orphaned)
and keep the diff.gz clean in the sense that it only ever creates files
in the debian/ directory.

Is this really desirable? If not: Why not?

In my opinion, it would make upgrading to future cyrus-imapd versions a
lot easier.

cu,
sven
