Hey guys,

I want to upload my Easy Debian package to Extras Devel.

It is a bunch of shell scripts, config files, and a couple of binaries (kernel modules, etc) contributed by others (I don't have the source code for them).

I have built the package with Khertan's PyPackager, and the resulting .deb installs well. However, it seems that I can't just upload the .deb to Extras-Devel; I have to make a "source package" that Autobuilder will like. I don't have such a thing; does this mean I can't upload to Extras-Devel?

Is there some way I can disassemble my .deb package into a file structure and then re-assemble it in a way that can be uploaded to Extras-Devel?
