It's not silly if you intend to make clear what comes from upstream
and what has been modified. Debian packages are organised like this:
unmodified upstream tarball + Debian patches. In a different domain,
the American constitution works the same way: there's the original
text + patches (that go by the name "amendments").
Cheers,
