Ok, I wrote up a quick section on packaging KDE apps with CDBS. Someone who
actually knows what they're doing should definately review it though. A
patch for Packaging.txt is attached. (I couldn't resist fixing a grammar bug
too, sorry... OCD...)
Should the Build-Depend for cdbs be versioned? Can someone comment on that?
Cheers,
nate

CDBS
====
-TODO: a paragraph about CDBS and kde.mk.
+You might also want to consider building your package with the Common
+Debian Build System (CDBS). This system encapsulates the best-practices
+for packaging in a central system that can be kept up-to-date independent
+of the actual packages.
+
+The simplest way to get started with CDBS is probably to use the dh-make
+template described above, then add cdbs to your Build-Depends and replace
+the generated debian/rules file with something like the following 3 lines:
+
+ #!/usr/bin/make -f
+ include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk
+ include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/kde.mk
+
+Before you do anything though, you should install the cdbs package and read
+its documentation; especially look in /usr/share/doc/cdbs/examples for some
+more example rules files.
