Hi, I am happy to announce that packaging-dev is available in oneiric, natty-backports, maverick-backports, lucid-backports. packaging-dev is a metapackage that depends on common packages useful for the development of Debian-format packages, including patch management systems, build systems, packaging macros, helpful scripts for developers, and tools for building and testing packages.
sudo apt-get install packaging-dev is a simple way to turn your newly installed Ubuntu system into a packaging system. The idea of this metapackage was initially discussed on Ubuntu IRC channels and then brought to debian-devel [1,2] mailing list. I forgot to bring it also up to this mailing list (which I do with this mail).
