Indeed. There are package more or less ready for etk, so I guess that
doesn't need much help. On the elementary side, however, that would be
really appreciated :)

I use neither git-buildpackage nor svn-buildpackage, however I prefer using
git as VCS. Apart from that, I don't mind much. I'm fine with both cdbs and
