Before expanding this even more,
please help me understand this script.

Commit 3716001b implemented source package build
at the end of the builddeb script.
However, the binary packages are still built in its own way.
(So, debian/rules is not used in general workflows,
so we need to test it explicitly somehow.)

Why do not we create a source package first,
then build binary packages from it?


rpm-pkg does that way.
(generate a spec-file, then run rpmbuild)
