well, I still think this is a bug, debtransform should ignore all debian-*.tar.* files:
What's the point of having those tar files then?
There is no point, more then one debian dir is useless. But I think I know why Amilcar put them there. Backporting applications to different debian/ubuntu releases. Exactly, that was the point, diferent ubuntu versions need diferent "debian/control" files.
But this is done in using correct values in debian/control for build and/or install dependencies. Example: wine in ubuntu feisty and new dev release gutsy. It will use two different versions of libstdc++, to make it easier for the ubuntu backporting guys, you use the following notation:
libstdc++4.2-dev | libstdc++4.1-dev | libstdc++-dev
in the Build-Dependency section. The build environment of debian/ubuntu (e.g. the sbuild or pbuilder) is reading those dependencies correctly. It reads from left to right:
if libstdc++4.2-dev is availbale, use it first if libstdc++4.2-dev is not there, check for libstdc++4.1 and use it when it's available if the first two are not available use the last version. I did not know that !!! thanks for the tip!!!
