Toby,

Thanks kindly.  I think the scenario that you are describing is correct...
In some areas Israel was explicitly creating `/build/debian/` and placing
files there, e.g:
https://github.com/Israel-/lmms/commit/21cb35657216f2851365973f431aa9643c4ed62a#diff-36cc642a0499791d45882fc8a16219d9L56

Israel,

I'm not sure how manual the packaging process is for you today, but I
strongly advise to take as much information from our build process as
possible to be fed into the Debian packaging process.

At a glance it appears a lot of it should be removed, but if this leaves
you maintaining a list of authors, homepage, project name, project
description, you may decide to find a place to configure this information
that can easily be picked up by the build process.

The good news is that removing the `cmake/debian` stuff makes the open PR
much easier for us to merge since there are much less changes to be
approved.  I'll put a few final comments on it now so that we can get this
stuff integrated.
