1. Debian Auxiliary Programs This package contains Perl programs and modules to build and publish Debian packages. debaux-build automatically downloads APT sources before building, applies patches and additional sources. It has options to build the packages in an existing chroot environment, check the generated packages with lintian, install the created packages on your local system or turn them into RPM packages. debaux-build has experimental support for downloading Perl modules from CPAN and creating the necessary Debian packaging files. debaux-publish uploads packages and runs the scripts to create the APT sources and packages files on the remote system. debaux-publish doesn't support the pool structure yet. The DebAux::Debconf module provides an easy-to-use interface for the Debconf::Client::ConfModule::get function. From Debian 3.0r0 APT
