Hehe.

If you've some more time you can maybe upload a new revision of dvipost
aswell. I guess latex-xft-fonts should be updated to the new policy revision
and control field changes aswell but I never touched this package so far.

Hm I'm happy with my current workflow but I don't know which benefits you have
with the complete upstream source in the repo.
ATM I've a ~/debian/pkg-<name>/ structure with
pkg-lyx/
      build-area
      tarballs
      lyx-1.4etch
      trunk

so that I can build with svn-buildpackage in every branch as long as the
tarball for the version is present.

Whenever I maintain a diff to the upstream source for a package I create
a quilt subdirectory for the uncompressed tarball and play with quilt in it.

Since I'm mostly working at home or with my laptop I don't need to copy/sync
this structure to a lot of systems. Donno how hard it's maintain such a
structure when you're working with a lot of different systems.

Cheers,
Sven
