What do you think about adding the docs to docs/linux-build.md? It's pretty short now, so a Debian section should be fine. If not, I'd add it to docs/debian-build.md.

@jsh: I'm thinking that we'd keep your script/debian-build, and add a script/debian-package for this. Unless you think debian users won't ever want to build manually once there's an official package available.

Yeah, docs/linux-build.md seems reasonable to me. I will add that now.

Docs added.

Rick,

I think keeping a script can't hurt. After all, there's a Makefile for git,
even though most folks install a package. :-)

@ssgelm: Apologies that it took so long to do a proper review. Does this need anything else (besides conflict resolution)?

I have a few minor concerns:

• The override_dh_auto_build function in debian/rules symlinks the files manually. Is there a reason you can't use script/bootstrap? This project's structure is a little odd for Go programs, so we may be making some changes. Though we'll probably have to tweak these debian files regardless.
• Is the top level ./debian directory required? I'd like a more organized place for the various scripts as we support more package managers.

@technoweenie: It's possible that script/bootstrap could be used. I'll take a look. Unfortunately though the top level debian directory is required. 😞

@ssgelm: In that case, I'll just merge this. It's very possible I'm going to be changing the project structure so that the symlinks are not needed anymore. I'll ping you on that PR for help updating the scripts if/when that happens.

Awesome! Sounds good.
