I find the easiest way to make sure I get a complete and clean source
package is to add a deb target to my toplevel Makefile:
deb: distdir
cd $(distdir) && debuild
You don't get the export -kv benefit but I don't think very many packages
need to worry about other people importing from deb sources and stomping
their tags.
