SubjectRFC: refactoring the deb build
Date
Hello folks,


here are some patches for build process that allow building debian packages
right the usual canonical way (eg. via dpkg-buildpackage or dck-buildpackage),
instead 'manually' setting up the build environment and calling make.
So, from a debian native perspective, turning it from head onto feet ;-)

dpkg-buildpackage + friends expect the debian/rules file being present in
the unpacked source tree and driving the actual build (the 'deb-pkg' make
target does that quite the opposite way). Obviously, 'make deb-pkg' can't
be used directly, as it would destroy our debian/rules file ...

To archieve this, I've done several things:

* place .config file to the source tree (not in this patch queue)
* add some helper targets to the toplevel makefile, so we can just ask
for certain things, eg. version, arch, etc, that we need later
* fix some missing dependencies in the generated debian/control file
* change scripts/package/mkdebian so that the name of the generated rules
file name can be changed via environment
* a generic debian/rules file for driving the build

The last patch isn't really meant to be merged yet (need to change the
deb-pkg rule to not overwrite debian/rules anymore) - just including it
for illustration.

What do you think about this ?
