Hi Michele,

Even when I'm not an Ubuntu developer just a enthusiastic user, I gave
it a shot and created a basic debdiff, it may be used as base to
create a formal one. This is how I did it:

$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-dev-tools git quilt fakeroot debhelper
$ git clone https://github.com/kassoulet/soundconverter/
$ cd soundconverter && git checkout origin/2.0
$ #it seems like the patches you're interested are the last 3 commits
$ git format-patch HEAD~3
$ cd ../ && mkdir ubuntu
$ cd ubuntu && pull-lp-source soundconverter trusty
$ cd soundconverter-2.0.4 && dch -i #document the changes and replace raring with trusty
$ mkdir debian/patches
$ quilt import ../../soundconverter/0001-Missing-plugins-handling-ignore-video-codecs.patch
$ quilt import ../../soundconverter/0002-Apply-patch-from-Michael.-Empty-task-queue-when-abor.patch
$ quilt import ../../soundconverter/0003-Apply-patch-from-Michael-fixing-TypeError-when-calli.patch
$ debuild -S -us -uc
$ cd .. && debdiff *dsc > soundconverter.debdiff

I didn't compile the result neither tested the result, (I ran this on
a remote machine without X). You could compile the result by running:
$ debuild -us -uc #withouth the -S parameter

I consulted the following sites to get the details (terrible memory):
