This package uses a form of source build based on DBS. To setup the
source, run "debian/rules setup". This will extract the pristine source in
build-dir/ and apply patches from debian/patches/.

A few cavaets. Modifying the source in build-tree/, will not be
preserved after the "clean" target is run.

To create patches for the source, you can remember several steps. There
are two targes for handling source. The "stampdir/unpack" target, will simply
unpack the tarball(s) into build-tree/ and "patch" will apply all patches
from debian/patches/. If you make any changes you can generate a new patch
using the "make_patch" target. This will move your current sources under
build-tree/, unpack the source+patches again, and then generate a diff
between the two. Note, you should run the "clean" target in the
build-tree/ source before doing this, to get a clean patch.
