I got the impression from your comments on #154528 that you would be against including those scripts, but looking back at those logs I can't really tell what gave me that idea. Certainly, I'd be happy to send you my buildd-{woody,sarge,sid} scripts and get them included, or to make an NMU if you'd prefer that. It would also be nice to add a "--buildd" option to debootstrap to switch to using the buildd-* scripts by default. -- Daniel Schepler "Please don't disillusion me.
