Why's that? You already have those debian-<flavor>.tar.gz files, can't you just add another file to them? Or do you want to get rid of them? I want to avoid code duplication, I do not want to have four .tar.gz files with 12 common files inside and one file that is different. It creates a maintenance nightmare, and it's hard for an outsider to understand what is going on.
Well, you already use "Debtransform-*" in your dsc file. Here are two ideas:
1) allow multiple tar files in "Debtransform-Files-Tar". You could use debian.tar.gz for your base files and debian-<flavor>.tar.gz would just contain some files that need to be different. This sound really good, thanks for the tip I will try that tomorrow.
2) add some new "Debtransform-Files" tag where you can specify in some syntax which files to take and where to put them. This seams too complicated, both for me, and for you guys.
If 1) works I will document it on the wiki, just like I did with all the trick you guys have told me in the past.
