1. Download a tarball of the new release, or simply tar the git into a directory 2. Rename the tarball to "cde-desktop_2.3.0-1.orig.tar.gz" make sure this is an underscore, the packager needs this or it will fail. 3. Untar the tarball, rename the "cde" directory to "cde-desktop-2.3.0-1" (mind the dashes!) 4. run make World (make clean can't function without the xmakefile, which isn't generated unless make World is ran, we need to do this because the first command that debuild runs is make clean, or more precisely the overriden function make clean && make clean.doc) 5. run debuild -us -uc from the cde directory
its been a while since I built it, but this should work, let me know if it doesn't. If my packaging looks strange in any way as mentioned, feel free to ask me about it and propose a patch, those changes you mentioned can be patched in.
