Of course ... :-) Thank you I'm not used to building X so this is really helpful. However, I was aiming for a way to ... say, alter a variable in the rules file, or similar, to build "batches" of DEB's. Batch one could be the regular xc tree and batch two the -dbg tree. That way people with small (!) partitions could build X as well. This is of course no problem for you Linux users with exceptional kernels. ;) But for us Hurd users we still kick around the ~2 GB limit on ext2fs. I won't bother you more with this, instead I'll try and setup some rules of my own and if someone else is interested I can post the results later to this thread.
