Especially the big picture (TM), would be nice to have all steps
on one page. The knowledge seems to be scattered around
a couple of pages, and since I am still busy getting the packages to build,
I didn't get around digging into that yet.

I have now working packages now for Ubuntu Hardy and Jaunty,
so they build in Ubuntus build environment:
https://launchpad.net/~hansfbaier/+archive/ppa
I suppose, then it probably would be very likely to build in debian, would't it.
The packages build in my sid VM fine, but I still have to install
pbuilder in it.
(Thus avoiding Ubuntu Hardy's pbuilder weirdness)

Thanks for you help,
Hans
