I've looked around before, and like most things that involve autoconf,

I'm not sure about arranging the debian files in that way
(packages/debian) - but I will try it.
As for testing, I'll see if I can arrange access to a Debian machine, or
maybe a nightly build and package generation on one of my own machines.
I think this is really good stuff, and once it get's into Debian, other
people will link to it, which creates dependencies - that means there
will be more interest in the code, more troubleshooting and feedback, etc.

Great, that exactly right. Then we can just add a target in
the make file for debian (i.e. make debian) and that would
allow a package maintainer to build a new one with each
release. Now if we could get the others, rpm, etc in there
we could start getting the library out on repos for the
various OS's. One thought that I had was that we may want to
nest the scripts etc under a directory like ./packages or
something so that we can also nest files for RPMs etc in
there, so we have something like:
./packages/debian
./packages/rpm
etc.
Agreed - seems like a good approach. Perhaps we could look to other
projects such as APR that might already have support for the various
packaging types? I'll poke around a bit today and see what I can find.
