My hope was of course to bring to life a standard source package format 
which really helps at repackaging and evolving.

Most of the tools I have found before only help building the binary 
package but do not document the way how we got there. My source 
packages include everything that is needed to get both: binary and 
source.

You just download a src-tar.gz, extract it, get inside, edit the 
Makefile rules and rerun 'make'. As a result you get a new pkg and 
again another src-tar.gz which can be republished, together with the 
binary pkg.

I just think that the Debian way is really good, so I implemented a 
similar mechanism.
