Martin Krafft and I jointly gave a talk at Debconf about use of
distributed version control systems for Debian packages (this is the
quilt/dpatch/other dimension); I would be happy to help documenting
that aspect.
I also have a package build system that tries not to have Debian
specific dependencies beyond the actual packaging tools (dpkg and
friends -- no helper tools). And no, I don't want to start yet another
discussion about why I have chosen to do so -- but I'll be happy to
help craft a plain-rules-file section to this document.
