It is ironic. And I said it to you before - it is just luck of
interest/time of the community in making the procedure more clean. I
think nexenta-on source package is a first step in the right direction.
We soon should have it fully build-able out of "apt-get source -b".

The fact that Nexenta exists is innovation by itself. I.e. distribution
of major UNIX kernel driven by Debian-like policy and OpenSource
philosophy. We are getting there. The reason Nexenta exists is primarily
because of people who loves Debian principals and technical ideas.

I'd like to thank all the contributors and welcome new ones! Nexenta
Hackathon is a great opportunity for young developers to achieve their
goals, I think.
