I had to change a few things and re-import the source package as the Debian
git repository wasn't constructed according to modern standards.
I'm still not quite happy with the result, as the upstream source tarball has
autoconf/automake files that are removed by d/rules clean, which causes errors
on subsequent builds with gbp.
But in any case, you should be able to build and run the sunffb driver from
the files I pushed to d.mentors:
