[maemo-developers] Importing packages from the Debian archive

[From: Ludovic Courtès]

Hi,

I'd like to build a package for Maemo that is already available in the
Debian archive, but not in Maemo.  I started by fetching the package
source on Debian, then running `dpkg-buildpackage' from within
Scratchbox.  The issue is that I then need to perform the same
operations for each dependency of the package, recursively, which is a
bit tedious.

Is there a way to automate building of packages imported from the Debian
archive in Scratchbox?

Thanks,
Ludovic.
