Since I'm intending to propose my project to be taken into debian, but
also to facilitate my building of 'homebrew' .deb packages, I have
written a set of files to go into the debian/ directory, like
debian
├── compat
├── control
├── copyright
├── files
├── rules
├── source
│ └── format
├── vspline-dev.install
├── vspline-example.install
└── watch
Is it a good idea to put the debian folder and it's contents under
version control in my upstream repository, or should I have these files
exclusively in the alioth repository?
with regards
Kay F. Jahnke
