Not very interesting stuff. Mainly the following:
- We use different version numbers (always adding a ql.?+<distro
codename>), e.g. 1.6.5-ql.1+trusty_amd64.deb
- We add some stuff to rules so that version numbering is done right for
us
- We add some stuff to copyright to indicate that we've modified
something
- We have additional qlustar-only build dependencies in control (mostly
a single qlustar package)
- We don't use git-build-package, but our own scripts to build

Got it :)
