This is the one. BTW, I don’t consider this a flaw in stdeb, it’s just that stdeb was not designed with the goal to produce packages suitable for Debian itself. What we need is the equivalent of dh_make_perl [0]. That is, a script that will generate the debian/ structure in a semi-automated fashion, leading to a package ready to be installed after minor tweaks and a human’s review. Bonus points would go for providing a script suggesting changes in the description and/or dependencies when updating the package for a new upstream release. As I have already explained [1], I should be the one to write it since I know all the tools and how to make clean packages, but I don’t have the time these days. If anyone starts to work on such a project, I’d be of course willing to help.
