[request-tracker-maintainers] Building RT from our git repo?

[Dominic Hargreaves]

I don't think I've ever run git-dpm prepare before... if you run
the commands in the README.source, I think dpkg-buildpackage should
work fine afterwards - that's the expectation - the master branch
should always be buildable using the vanilla tools.

(my workflow is generally dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -S && cd .. &&
sbuild ... but that shouldn't make a difference if you're building
on the right Debian release, but for final testing sbuild or equivalent
is obviously recommended)

Cheers
Dominic
