Hello, In order to easily build Debian packages, I wrote a script called mkdeb. I use it for projects where I am upstream, to make a package without doing a release first (this is just for testing, when I build an official package I use a real release as orig.tar.gz). It's a fairly simple script, which creates an orig.tar.gz from the current directory, and calls debuild using it.
I also made a new version of it which renames the package to -dbg and builds the package with debugging symbols. This works for the few packages I tested, but probably not for all, as changing the package name has quite some implications. Anyway, the question I have about this: Is something like this useful for others? Is it worth putting it in a Debian package, for example? I find it very useful, and feel that it is missing from the current helper scripts. Or did I just duplicate some effort? :-) Since the scripts aren't very large, I included the non-debug version as an attachment.
