Bug#576946: mozilla-devscripts: Please add a "dh buildsystem"

[Mike Hommey]

Package: mozilla-devscripts
Version: 0.20
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch


dh allows to create extra build systems, for use by dh_auto_configure,
dh_auto_build and friends. The attached patch just does this.

Provided a package is a single extension, and has no tmp.xpi file in the
source directory, the debian/rules can look like this:

#!/usr/bin/make -f
%:
	dh --with xul-ext --buildsystem=xul_ext $@
