	The dependancy on cdb-src is certainly wrong.
        It alone is not enough to ensure cdbget etc are
        available.

        Debian as a whole does not have any _nice_ way to
        distribute source-only packages, for local compilation.

        If you want, you can grab the source files from cdb-src
        and include them in your package. The source (not the Makefile, 
        not the documentation) is in public domain, and very small.
