And have the following doubt:<br>
- we cannot use git-import-orig in this case for updating I guess, right?<br>
- Shall we follow with the command ' uupdate -v newversion ../foo-<br>
newversion.tar.gz ' as mentioned in the link?<br>

<br>
No. git-import-orig is correct when you are packaging with git.<br>
"uupdate" would be used if we were packaging outside a version control<br>
system.<br>

On a more general note, the <a href="http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/" target="_blank">http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/</a> guide followed covers only *some* Debian packaging styles.<br>
<br>
In particular, it seems (from a quick glance) to not cover the tools used most commonly (if not exclusively) here at the Debian OLPC team:<br>
<br>
* CDBS<br>
* git-buildpackage<br>
<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
