Well, the stuff which does most of the heavy dispatching is in
tar_em_up.sh, packages/linux_make/Makefile and externals/Makefile, AFAICT.
This could really be tidied up a bit some time, but as it works, I don't
consider this a high priority.

They probably read the Ubuntu packaging guide and instantly became Arch
converts. :) Seriously, Debian packaging is getting old-school and horribly
bloated. It's a breeze for end users and a royal pita for maintainers.
Arch's pacman is the other way round, :) but fortunately there are nice
frontends like Manjaro's pamac to make it usable for Arch noobs.

There are better things I can do to waste my time, thank you. :) My idea is
to just include the binary nw.js tarballs with the Debian source package
and be done with it. I vaguely recall that there are ways to do this, but
it's been a while I needed this, so I just need some time to get this
sorted out.

Meanwhile, I modified my Arch PKGBUILD for pd-l2ork so that it works with
purr-data. The build goes through fine now, but I noticed that just a few
externals and help patches have gone missing in purr-data (see attached
purr-missing-externals.diff). Did you exclude these on purpose, or do I
need to go digging why these don't get included?

Ah yes, thanks! Still need to find my way around on GitLab. :)

Cheers,
