It certainly doesn't. We try to build everything in suubdirectories of debian/build/ and never modify any files outside of the debian/ directory, so linux-source-<version> should be clean Unfortunately we need to run autotools for the usbip userland which creates lots of files in the source directory. We'll have to make a temporary copy of the source. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Sturgeon's Law: Ninety percent of everything is crap.
