Thanks for the remove of the debian-dir.
I setup a daily build for ubuntu natty now (for maverick and lucid i don't
know how to do because of unmet dependency for libsynthesis).
The git-source will be synced to launchpad (i think daily) and then a debian
package will be created with the source and the package will be available in
a ppa.
PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~toabctl/+archive/syncevo
Daily build:
https://code.launchpad.net/~toabctl/+recipe/syncevolution.recipe
automatically cynced source in launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/syncevolution
Cheers,
Tom

Okay, done:
commit b51e4072ef241c625264fcfd5ccb1282e9b65a65

packaging: removed obsolete "debian" directory
The reason for removing it is that it breaks the daily build in
Launchpad (see "[SyncEvolution] remove debian/ dir from source").
It wasn't used anymore except in Ove's branch for Maemo 5. Should the
files be needed again in git, then the directory should be renamed.

That reminds me: do you publish your git repo somewhere? It would make
sense to merge back your changes into the main repo at least once in a
while.
