I disagree.

If you want to release a patched up version for some glitch that is
specific to Debian but is in the rest of the source, you basically
can't today without waiting for a new mainstream release.

Besides, I don't see much difficulty in this:

$ cp PATH/TO/monotone_0.43.tar.gz .
$ mtn clone monotone.ca net.venge.monotone.debian-diff monotone-0.43
$ cd monotone-0.43
$ dpkg-buildpackage -i

Cheers,
Richard
