Using emdebian-tools

- Run 'emsetup --verbose --simulate' to see what needs to be modified.
- Re-run 'emsetup -v' to install a cross-building toolchain and update the tools from the Emdebian toolchain repository
- Get the Debian package with 'emsource' to prepare initial patches and create SVN records.
- Change into the new dir, check debian/rules and run 'emdebuild' – adds .build and patches to SVN upon successful build.
- Upload the generated .changes file to the Emdebian target repository with dput.

Notes:

emsetup -s simulates the actions that are needed to bring a Debian system up to Emdebian compatibility. Includes adding the Emdebian toolchain repository to /etc/apt/sources.list.
svn support intended for cooperative maintenance of packages – the patches can be isolated from the normal .diff.gz
emsource runs em_make if used
