So at the moment I have a MANIFEST file and my Makefile just builds
the source distribution from this. That's fine - I can omit the
debian/ subdirectory from the source distribution this way.
I'm not really sure where/how Debian builds the
`modcaml_1.0.0-1.tar.gz' file (which is nothing to do with me -
dpkg-buildpackage makes this itself somehow). So I'm not really sure
how to achieve the separation of debian into a patch file this
way. Also how to remove the CVS/ subdirectories which it mistakenly
adds to this file.
Anyway, things are progressing. I'll post another message when I've
got some debs which install at least.
