 There is an easy way to go. Provide a debian/ dir in CVS but don't
provide it in any released tarball. This way we can package asterisk in
Debian without much hassle and people can have debian packages autobuilt
if they want.

 If you release with a debian/ dir, you're going to force us to repack
each tarball you produce.
