Is the Right Thing to do here to modify the orig.tar.gz to contain the

The most reasonable thing to do is to both:

1. Modify the files after you unpack the tarball, but before you build
the package, and

2. Explain the reasoning for the patch in the debian/copyright file.

Imho, the right thing to do is to use ext3grep-0.6.0, which already
has GPLv2 for backtrace.*

Boy, that sounds great.  I didn't realize there wasn an updated release!
