Fortunately for XML/SGML resources (as opposed to more complex stuff
like libxslt, and the stuff that Ardo maintains), there is no need for
an external Makefile. It's simply a matter of editing and moving
files, and registering the resources.
In the above case, having a minimal rules file and a number of
debhelper input files is much more maintainable.
And so my inadequacies are exposed: I'm really more of a project
manager-type than I am a programmer. Makes it hard to find a jobs
sometimes:)
