Bug#505553: eclipse: No information about building source package

[Andreas Tille]

Package: eclipse
Version: 3.2.2-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

if the source tarball from a package is different from the archive
which is obtained from upstream you should provide some information
how to assemble the upstream tarball.  According policy version
3.8.0 you should do this in a README.Source file.  Since a long
time it is also suggested to provide a get-orig-source target.

If you would provide this information you might expect more people
helping with the packaging.  I just wanted to give it a try but
I have no idea on what source tarball your current SVN stuff should
work on.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
