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.
