I don't know much of how debian builds work, but if you have some build files somewhere that I can copy, I can probably get debian builds working on open build service, so that when we do new efl / enlightenment builds I can check they atleast compile there. If someone has similar for arch I might be able to set that up as well, I don't have time to learn the other build formats in detail but if someone has something thats there and working I can probably integrate it in.
