Do you actualyl need a vote, even if it is "only" an upgrade of an
existing package? ;-)

But in fact packaging is changed quite a bit (work mainly done by
Gerrit, as I said).
Pretty standard "method 2", except an hack I had to do to permit its use
in any directory (only method to solve a bug that Gerrit found, and I
have found nothing better even if I tried, was to put in an absolute
path, in order to build in a directory different from the autoreconf
one; as the m4 script kinda modifies itself)
This solves in 2 patches:
in prep():
sed -e "/^[+]/s|THIS_IS_THE_ABSOLUTE_SCRDIR|${srcdir}|" < ${src_patch}
and in mkpatch():
sed -e "/^[+]/s|${srcdir}|THIS_IS_THE_ABSOLUTE_SCRDIR|"
Of course if the package is prep()area in one directory, then moved,
then built, it won't work.
But should work in most cases, when no ones moves it around between
prep() and conf() phase.
