Quoting Steve Langasek (vorlon at debian.org):

OK, that sounds fair.

Some day, I would like to propose a policy for naming patches to
easily distinguish those that are Debian-specific, those that could go
in upstream but don't for upstream's policy reasons and that that
should go to upstream.

More or less somethign like this. Need to get more ideas, but that has
proven to be useful for shadow.

That would make it easier to think about forwarding things
upstream. Yeah, this is only minor stuff, but I prefer us to forward
the glitches we or our users find rather than wait for an hypothetical
review.....

And you know that my Ultimate Goal in Life is having zero-size
debian/patches directories..:-) (immediately after having all French
translations at 100%)

So, well, I keep the right to split the patch anyway. After all, that
doesn't hurt kittens....
