I make them by doing  "dpkg-source -x <packagename-version>.dsc (with
the correct tar.gz next to it).
next I do: "dpkg-source -b <extracted package dir> <sourcepackage>.tar.bz2

I used the standard seamonkey-1.0.5 source package as source for 2
reasons: it works and it's a lot smaller as it is a tar.bz2

see above. That's exactly what I do. Only my orig.tar.gz is called seamonkey.

That's because of the images in there. All images (the Debian logo and
name, the Icape icon, the throbber) are part of the diff.
