Very small? I found a 20k diff for 300k source, mostly configuire patches.
But the main difference is, you are not using debhelper at all. I find
debhelper very convenient and would like to continue to use that. However, I
have the same problem, and tried with the hints given here. In some places I
have to force debhelper to do what I want, and I didn't always succeed. Ie
dh_installdocs, dh_installinfo, dh_installchangelogs do not work too well
with source unpacked in subdirs. If I enter the subdir before calling those
debhelper functions, or in the installdocs case, add the subdir name to
debian/docs, things are working a little better, but not yet perfect.
ATM I am missing the debian changelog in my packages:
auric.debian.org/~cts/moon-buggy/
Any hints appreciated. Is there a way to pass a subdir to dh_*? Didn't find
it in the docs.
