I wasn't refering to the whole packages - just the packaging files - various configuration files that tell the packaging system how to build the package. Normally, this means adding a `debian' directory with some files in it. Here is an example of what might be added: ./debian ./debian/changelog ./debian/compat ./debian/control ./debian/copyright ./debian/docs ./debian/pkgname.README.Debian ./debian/pkgname.install ./debian/pkgname.links ./debian/patches ./debian/patches/series ./debian/patches/12345.patch ./debian/rules
