I think the best way is to have a special debian/rules target to
manipulate the control files, i.e.

cp debian/control.$(what-to-build-for) debian/control

(and similar)

and prepending a dummy paragraph to the changelog.

At least this seems what I've done when wanting to maintain in parallel
for stable and unstable.

The cleanest solution (to me) seems generating the control files upon
checkout from svn or somesuch.

Kind regards

T.

P.S.: Let me know if you need help with any packaging, I'd really like
to see Debian packages of tinymail (he, and looking through my spam
folder, maemo packages as well).
