The emdebian-tools source package currently generates 12 binary packages
with three distinct roles:

1. keyring packages - content very rarely changes and the udeb needs
special permission to migrate into testing each time.
        Binaries: emdebian-archive-keyring
                  emdebian-archive-keyring-udeb

2. emdebian-tools - the original package concentrating on building
packages and cross-building support. This source package will continue
to provide libemdebian-tools-perl and emdebian-buildsupport. Whatever
dpkg-cross support does not get absorbed by multiarch or dpkg will end
up here. 
        Binaries: emdebian-tools
                  emdebian-buildsupport
                  libemdebian-tools-perl
                  emdebian-grip
                  emdebian-grip-server
                  emdebian-qa
                  emdebian-tdeb
                  libdebian-packages-compare-perl

3. emdebian-rootfs - sufficiently distinct from tools that unpicking
them is relatively straightforward. This source package concentrates on
putting packages into a root filesystem and handling support for
making that rootfs bootable. -tools and -rootfs generate the majority of
new releases.
        Binaries: emdebian-rootfs 
                  multistrap
                  possible new support package

Therefore, for the 2.0.0 release, these components will be separated
out in Emdebian SVN. The build system will remain the same.
