When we do a release, in the lisaac-X.tar.gz, you will have, compiler,
documentation, editors support, external libraries (opengl etc..)

I think keeping a debian branch in each git we want things to debian is easier
and more flexible. I suggest a the beginning to have one in compiler.git and
editors.git.

Then we can release libraries independantly when a library is ready (opengl,
sqlite, etc...).

The fact is that the final lisaac-X.tar.gz tarball contains to much things and
it's quite big to each time upload it to debian (about 15M) due to PDF
ducumentation etc..
