lib/Parrot/Manifest.pm contains the following lines:

  37         # ignore the debian directory
  38         next if $filename =~ m[/\.svn|blib|debian];

This correctly skips the debian/ directory, but unfortunately it also 
skips any file that contains the word 'debian', including the new 
docs/project/debian_packaging_guide.pod.

The quick task is to update it in such a way that it only skips the 
top-level directory.

Alternatively, move the debian/ directory from the top-level down into 
ports/, and filter the whole ports/ directory. (We aren't building 
debian packages directly from the repository, we build them from the 
release tarballs to keep the versions in sync. So, the debian/ directory 
doesn't have to be a top-level directory.)
