In hindsight, it seems more straightforward to me
to build the binary packages from the source package.
But, I know this refactoring will need lots of changes, which may
break something.

Once we support this fastdeb-pkg target,
we will not be able to convert the script in that way.
(because we do not have a standard way to generate a particular binary
package from *.dsc)
That's why I asked the question, and I want to be careful.

As always, cleaning patches are welcome.
