i'm trying to package curl. curl is tool to download anything from
the net in all sort of ways (http, ftp, gopher, https). it comes
also with ssl support, i can tell it to compile ssl support by a switch
after ./configure.

in order to get both version i have to configure/make sources (for
plain version), save somewhere plain binary and clean reconfigure/remake
all (for ssl flavour).

well, multiple binary packages support goes well when with a build you 
get all you need to make all binary packages. 

debstd (i hate it, it is stupid) wants to debianize all packages you are
building *at once*. so when i build the first binary package (say the
plain one) it tryes to debianize also the ssl one (which i have not
even built yet!).

<OT>
  i think debstd would be more friendly if it could care about a
  package at time, wouldn't it?
</OT>

moreover, dpkg-buildpackage wants to do "make build" and then "make
binary". i can build a curl flavour at time. to do a binary package i
must to have just built that flavour. i can't make both of them and then
pack them. unless i have to copy all the source tree somewhere and
proceed to parallel work. 

hmmm...

have i to do a source packages for each flawour of curl? it sounds dull
to me.

any help is welcome to me

thanks
