Hello, I would

like to get only the debian directory of a package, in order to build locally a 
set of packages.

My tools are for now, the dht programm from pkg-haskell-tools.

This tool expect a flat directory organized like this p/<package>/debian

It then create the dsc file from this and build all the .deb files, taking care 
of the dependency in order to build everythings via sbuild.
I like the simplicity of this and the fact that it is really easy to deploy, 
especially since sbuild use unshare.

It works very whell for the build part.

Now, I `just` need to maintain this flat package organisation.

So I started by providing to our users a file 'package' which describe the set 
of package expected., like this


# version package
testing ufo-core
unstable ufo-filters
git pyfai http://salsa.debian.org/science-team/pyfai <subfolder>
...

In the futur I would like to add also other sources for packages like pip or 
something else.

Then I just need to write something which can parse this file and put the right 
p/<package>/debian files depending of the user information.
So to start with, I just want to get the debian directory of  the 
testing/unstable version of package.

How can I get this without downloading a full debian source package ?

thanks for your help

Frederic.
