'debify' is a little longer, see below.  Given a call 

	 ./debify foo 1.2-3 1.2-4

it expands the 1.2-4 tarball and copies the 1.2-3/debian over, having done
some parameter checking.  I then edit debian/changelog and if needed,
debian/control and fire off the pbuilder.

How come 'your page' (ie for debian-med) lists my packages?
