Anyone have a problem if we add a 'debian' folder to the trunk?
I think it's a bad idea.
That's the standard debian setup, then it would be possible to build .debs for all the libs by downloading trunk and running the
build in the nromal way.
As far as I understand it, standard Debian setup is stable source tarballs from "upstream", then Debian maintainer adds "debian/", updating it as needed for each new upstream release and/or packaging fixes.
For Pd itself, there probably should be a pd/debian folder. Ideally
Miller would include Günter's debian folder that he uses for the
official debian package.
I think it's better to keep the "debian/" stuff managed separately, and for stable source tarballs to be released when the author(s) feel they are ready to be packaged for Debian and/or any other distro/OS/whatever.
Better to have distro maintainers do what they're good at and Pd maintainers do what they're good at, rather than trying to do the whole world's job, imo.
