Nothing on irc, but I found the trunk/packaging/debian directory and the README, e17builder.sh script, pbuilder-config and the rest. Read the README, but I've never done this before and I'll probably muck things up trying. But I'm more than willing to learn.

I made the directory ~/.pbuilderrc and copied pbuilder-config and e17builder.sh there. Opened the script but right away I think there's a problem because I don't have an esvn username. I have the new files from trunk/packaging/debian/extras/elsa already, so can I just put them in ~/repository_folder and comment out the lines from username="USERNAME" to localpath="$HOME/repository_folder"? I assume I can also comment out all the distros and architectures except mine. Also assume I can comment out all the things to compile, eina…  and add elsa? I'm using Debian sid, so I'd need to replace /usr/share/cdbootstrap/suites with the suites file?

Oh, and install pbuilder and all the dependencies first.

Probably not even close on this, but what the hell.
