Set up qubes-builder [1], clone the repo into qubes-src subdir of
qubes-builder repo, then add:
COMPONENTS += your-component-name
to builder.conf, and `make your-component-name` from top level
qubes-builder dir.

Documentation on how to package your own things such that they plug
into the Qubes builder framework (via Makefile.builder) can be found
under doc/ in a checked out qubes-builder.

If you have further specific questions, feel free to ask on qubes-devel.

Regards,
Jean-Philippe

Ah great. I like this implementation. Reviewing the code it does not seem to 
introduce any risk and provide all the functionality required.

Could you explain briefly the steps to install (after the git pull).

May I also ask you for some help/pointer on a yubikey package I've done. I just 
need to do the packaging and it may save me some time if you were to give me 
few pointers...

Project is here... the doc state that it is packages, but it is not (yet)...

This problem has already been solved, but upstreaming it was stalled
for some policy reasons. See here:
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/953

My implementation can be found here:
