Thanks - I have tested and it works.
But, I stumble on the line endings, the first thing failing is the
patches. And we cannot possibly have patches with dos crlf.
<grumble> Im coming from fedora/rpm, and these things are just trivial
when the packaging is out-of-tree. I sometimes find myself banging my
head to my table when stuff like this is so utterly complicated when
packaging is debian-style, in-tree.</grumble>
I guess you understand the situation. If the downloaded sources are
crlf, what on earth could I do without make dpkg-source upset, and
keeping repeated builds sane?
At this point I still havn't found out any better option than what I
have pushed, using get-orig-source.
Cheers!
