 It is more convinent if someone would like to compile the package,
svn-buildpackage can do it, if the source is correctly checked out.
Ofcourse I would not like to 'pollute' upstream source, it's there for
reference only. If someone would like to be extra sure no changes can
ever get into the upstream source, then s/he can check out the package as
debian/ being the toplevel:
svn co svn+ssh://<username>@svn.grub.alioth.debian.org/svn/pkg-grub/grub/trunk/debian/ grub-debian/
(The last part will be the directory created with the contents of
debian/).

The biggest problem that I did not yet catch up with the recent Debian
package releases. Will track it today, around 18:00 CET, now I have to
catch some sleep before I write strange things like I did last time.

Regards,
Laszlo
