I've used csplit in the past to break up diffs.  I had a conversion script
that could split a debian diff.gz into upstream changes, and everything in
debian/.  I then recombined the latter part, and turned it into a tarball,
while moving the former part into debian/patches/(I'm the original author of
dbs).
