I somehow fail to picture how you map distributions with debian
packages. The simple way is to have a distribution be a single source
package that will produce as many binary packages as it contains
extensions.

Now, if a single extension appears in more than one distribution, as far
as debian packaging is concerned, you're hosed.

So I still think we need to manually package for debian…
