Yes. I added it to the trunk as far as it is done at all.

I used build as build dir. So for top dirs you have

debian
lustre-version
build

If we drop the lustre-version subdir and have the original
lustre.tar.gz as orig.tar.gz and the debian dir in diff.gz then
debian/build will be better. If not a must. Lustre already has a build
subdir that would conflict.

In fact, since lustre-version/build exists, debian/objdir or something
non similar sounding would be even better. or?

Is the BTS subscribed?
