This package uses a build system called DBS (Doogie's Build System).
To extract the upstream source, run "debian/rules setup". This will
extract the pristine source in build-tree/, and apply patches from
debian/patches/.

Note that source modifications in build-tree/ will not be preserved
after the "clean" target is run.

To create patches for the source, remember the following steps: There
are two targets for handling source.  The "unpacked" target will
simply unpack the tarball(s) into build-tree/; the "patched" target
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 that you should
run the "clean" target in the build-tree/ source before doing this to
get a clean patch.

You can also create a patch by using dbs-edit-patch. Please make sure
to run `make -f debian/rules debian/vars' before using that command.
