Handling packaging methods
CDBS : Patch debian/rules to use /usr/share/emdebian-tools/emdebhelper.mk
debhelper : Patch debian/rules to remove or wrap all relevant dh-* rules. Check debian/rules and remove manual dpkg or install commands that are not removed by the patch. Remove udeb and doc packages from debian/control.
dpkg and other methods : No automated patches, generate patches from manual changes.
Notes:
The separate emdebian/ folder had problems – too many other tools needed patching.
emdebian-tools described later
langupdate – reads the list of installed packages, reads the cache and offers the user a list of available translation files for the current user locale(s) which are not installed. Locale files are packaged individually to prevent installing translation files that are never used.
