I would really appreciate some work on the source package
format, and I could lend a hand - see my problem with djgpp:
To compile the djgpp cross-compiler to DOS, you need to unpack
the gcc and binutils sources somewhere, then unpack the djcrx
stuff over it. Go figure the size of my .orig.tar.gz... OTOH, if
we made some minor changes to the dsc file, it could know it has
to unpack gcc-whatever.orig.tar.gz binutils-whatever.orig.tar.gz
and then djgpp-whatever.orig.tar.gz. Maybe we could even come up
with a way to apply the .diff's...
