We are speaking about the clean automatical procedure of creating deb from any tar.gz or cvs files. Something that we build may distribute together with tar.gz on every release, and something that any deb user can build himself. For example every rpm user may build rpm for his system(s) for 3 years now, like this: make rpm-dist mparams='CFLAGS="-O3 -g"' cparams='--disable-xinerama' If Alexander wants to provide such automatic procedure to the developers (without adding any hook files, that may be packed in fvwm-debhooks deb), it is ok. But until now he did not do this, so any other Debian user who really wants immediate access to debs with any new release may volunteer.
