[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#585814: chromium-browser: debian/rules get-current-source fetches from wrong channel

[Jonathan Nieder]

Source: chromium-browser
Version: 5.0.375.70~r48679-2
Severity: minor

Trying to rebuild the 5.0.375.70~r48679.orig.tar.bz2 with

  debian/rules get-current-source

instead produces 6.0.423.0~svn20100610r48676.  Presumably
this is because I did not specify a channel using the
$(CHANNEL) variable.

README.source should probably warn about this in its "Examples on how
to get .orig.tar.gz for snapshots":

  + get current upstream snapshot (by changelog):
    ./debian/rules get-current-source CHANNEL=<current channel>

Or would it be possible to figure out the channel from the version
number in debian/changelog?  That would be the best thing.
