And I always found that style of packaging almost impossible to
understand, certainly when I just wanted to download the package, unpack
it, make a couple of changes, and rebuild. (Yes, I *know* it's very easy
if you know how, and I know that it's easy for maintainers to handle,
but the point remains.)
I'm very glad to hear that work's being done on dpkg-source that should
(if I understand it correctly) obsolete this hack.
