Yeah, that should be possible. How is it built? I saw a
debian-package
target in the Makefile, but near as I can tell it doesn't do
anything.
To me it looks like the Debian building process got moved into
`tools/release.lisp` and not restored when I rolled back to using the
shell and `Makefile` (I was never able to get the lisp scripting code
to work reliably for me, nor could I figure out how to debug it).
I can see if I can de-lisp it for the moment and put it back in the
top level `Makefile`.
I had a shot at it, and I don't have a great understanding of how to
write a Makefile. In the lisp code for the rule there's a bit of code
that checks for a clean working directory that I have not been able to
replicate (stuck dealing with the fact that a bash string has an extra
space at the end (🤷🏻). I will commit this into a merge
request, but it is *definitely* a work in progress. Maybe someone else
can figure it out.
