Actually, you should use one of the various ./defconfig-*, as explained
at [1].  FYI, Debian uses ./defconfig-gta02 (cfr. debian/rules [2]).

Yes, since now it's "public", I'm writing to the smartphone-kernel
mailing list, please continue there for this specific bug.

`git checkout -b debian origin/debian` is what you need, since you want
to follow the branch.  To understand the difference, try your first
command and read the output ;-)

I changed the HEAD reference to the debian branch, thus every clone
command directly ends up into the debian branch.

Exactly.

You can, which is mostly the same with one "critical" exception: you
need to start QEMU, login, etc. etc., while `pdebuild --pbuilder
qemubuilder` does all this stuff for you :-D

Perfect, I was sure you would have understood what I meant.

Thx, bye,
