[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Debian files co-existence

[From: Vladislav Grinchenko]

Hi,

an application ported to Hildon requires modification of files in
'debian' directory:

- control
	Changing 'Dependency' to maemo

- rules
	Passing --enable-hildon=yes option 
        to ./configure command	

- myapp.links
	hildon-specific

Maemo.org HOWTO's suggest including debian/* files in
the distribution tarball. Debian Ports, on the other hand,
tend to add debian/* files to the original source via diff files - you
take an original source, apply the diff patch that adds debian/* files
to the source tree. 

This is a clear incongruence of packaging policies.

Can anyone suggest a way of coping with these differences?

thanks,
-- Vlad
