Ah, I didn't realise that the cdds provided the files.

Am I right that they should ship them in /etc/cdd as well? Wouldn't
that cause file conflicts in some cases?

No, there is no need to install them in /etc/cdd.  A sourece.list
file in the source directory overrides /etc/cdd anyway.  So if there
a source.list.foo is found in the package source directory /etc/cdd
is ignored in any case.

It should work if you do not touch the package source and put some files
into /etc/cdd but this will fail on an autobuilder that is missing the
file in /etc/cdd.  But I have no experience at all with Ubuntu and do
not know whether this autobuilder argument is a constraint.

Please note:  You have to say

    make dist

to let thhe source.list become effective.  The dist target creates a
debian/control file that considers the packages in the Packages.gz
at the given location.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
