OpenSUSE uses rpms, so there is no debian/ directory. If Ubuntu has packaged the program, it might be worthwhile to look at their source to get a sense of the package. In most cases though, you will want to start from scratch so you know the exact purpose of everything in the debian/ directory. It can be worthwhile to look at openSUSE, Gentoo, Fedora, etc. packaging to see if there are patches upstream hasn't applied, etc. > > Or is it better to use just upstream source? You should always build with pristine upstream source code. I think you meant to ask something else here.
