How do you build the package if you can't get the dsc file or a source
from a debian repo?  Can I get normal emacs source package and then
use the tutorial to build it? I got confused reading th etutorial how
to do this in case I get the source from a non debian site. It may be
helpful to include this info in the tutorial I think.
