Hi Paul,

Thanks :)

Actually, it's easier to keep the Debian-specific bits out of upstream
trees because it can make things more difficult for certain packaging
workflows. If you're interested, there is more detail here:

Ok, well, shame. I guess I'll just pull the debian bits from you into
Quagga then.

It's useful to be able to build distro packages directly from the git
repo. Don't claim them to be up-to-date - as we're not the distros - but
hopefully still usable for quick testing.
