-I'd like to use Ubuntu's merge-o-matic to generate diffs between Debian's
-source archive and the source archives of various other Debian-based distros
-(Knoppix, Freespire, Mepis, Sidux, gNewSense and so on). The result will be
-much like patches.ubuntu.com. merge-o-matic downloads source packages, unpacks
-them and generates diffs against unpacked pure debian source packages. As a
-result lots of disk space would be required since the whole Debian archive plus
-an unpacked version of it and the same for each derivative distribution is
-needed.

-Requirements:
-
-* a system with sufficient disk space (how much is that?)
