Role of emdebian-tools
Patch debian/control to remove udeb and doc packages.
Patch debian/rules to removes dh_installman, dh_installchangelog etc. rules.
Adds the emdebian version string: emN. Version 1:2.3-4 in Debian becomes 1:2.3-4em1, generates the patch for debian/changelog.
Patch CDBS packages to use emdebian makefile
Split foo.mo files into dedicated locale packages.
builds with dpkg-buildpackage -a ARCH ...
Notes:
Each stage creates emdebian patches to make it simple to build a Debian package from the same source, just by ignoring the emdebian patches.
Emdebian CDBS makefile removes dh_installman etc.
New locale packages only contain the binary translation file, nothing else.
Once patched, a normal build with just the -a ARCH option added.
