I found http://raphaelhertzog.com/2011/07/04/how-to-prepare-patches-for-debian-packages/
while looking around earlier.

I used to know debian packaging in the pre-quilt days but I'm pretty
out of touch--my instinct is always to run "./debian/rules build" and
that's just not how it's done now. I just got handed an urgent,
completely non-Lua project, so my back burner is now: fix my lua
packager/catch up on microlight; UTF-8; rebuild LazyKit on modern Lua
so I can start doing XML projects in it again; play around with $""
and f:$"" stuff as useful. Oh and forward-port all my mythtv hacks
from mythbuntu 9.10 to 12.04.

I can't count on. The best I can do in reply is quote some random blog
comment: "Gravity is just matter’s nostalgia for being part of a
sphere."
