Porting packages from debian to launchpad ppa is really easy with
git-buildpackage, example with pd-bassemu:
--8<--
git clone git://git.debian.org/pkg-multimedia/pd-bassemu.git
cd pd-bassemu/debian
dch -i
cd ..
git-buildpackage --git-ignore-new -S -sa
cd ..
dput ppa:claudiusmaximus/ppa pd-bassemu_0.3-1~ppa1~lucid1_source.changes
cd pd-bassemu/debian
dch -i
cd ..
git-buildpackage --git-ignore-new -S -sa
cd ..
dput ppa:claudiusmaximus/ppa pd-bassemu_0.3-1~ppa1~maverick1_source.changes
--8<--

Hey!
Just ran into an apt bug which makes it a little trickier to port
packages when running Lucid:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/502641
Problem: apt-get source foo=version fails to get the version requested
Workaround: add a 'deb' line as well as a 'deb-src' line in your
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/puredyne-team-ppa-karmic.list
--8<--
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/puredyne-team/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/puredyne-team/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
--8<--
Also, updated source packages (pre-sid acceptance) can be got from:
--8<--
deb http://mentors.debian.net/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
--8<--
Side-effect: might mess up your Lucid install with a mix of packages
from Karmic, so be careful when aptitude safe-upgrade.
Hope this tip is useful! Thanks,
Claude
