When I target Debian, I personally prefer adding a debian/ folder (or a way to replicate it), because I want to be able to produce an official package easily, and I want my users to be able to pull a revision from VCS at random, and produce a package from it. If someone's up for it, it may be a good idea to make an official build ruleset (even if stored separately), as well as make it possible to use GNUmakefiles for generating the debian/ folder for libraries and apps. -- Ivan Vučica - [email protected]
