Composite Method (3)
All parameters are controlled in normal debian/ control files.
Adapted build scripts (emdebian-tools) apply patches in correct sequence, cross-build the patched package and manage the emdebian patch files and build logs using subversion.
Normal Debian tools for installing and managing the packages on the development host.
Managed by cross-built apt on target and a new language tool: langupdate.
Notes:
emdebian-tools script and enhance existing tools, not replace or patch (with the exception of CDBS). Retain ability to build debian and emdebian from the same source.
Keeping compatibility means keeping the .deb filename so the .mdeb idea was dropped. Dependency changes will complicate installation on the development machine.
