Hi,

Linaro is interested in having an archive available with ddeb for all of
the packages.

We don't support ddeb in derived archives, and the way it's implemented
for PPA doesn't really work for them either, as it requires
modifications to the packaging of all packages for which they want ddeb.

They could work-around this by uploading a modified debhelper to a PPA
that automatically builds the ddeb. But that would mean they'd have to
make sure that their customized debhelper is always ahead of the one in
the distro and that they need to upload packages to both the ddeb PPA as
well as their main one. Plus they want to move to derived distro.

So the question is how can we support enabling ddeb building
automatically in PPA and derived distros.

Cheers
