I wrote a script similar to the script in scripts/package/builddeb in
the kernel tree for git. Is there any interest to integrate it into
the git source tree? I've attached the script.


#!/bin/sh
tmpdir="`pwd`/debian/tmp"

make prefix=/usr all doc
make prefix="$tmpdir/usr" install install-doc

version="`cat GIT-VERSION-FILE | cut -d ' ' -f 3`"
name="git debian package script <`id -nu`@`hostname -f`>"

mkdir -p "$tmpdir/DEBIAN"
