No we are speaking about creating a .deb package, so make bindist is not
appropriate. It is dpkg-buildpackage with a proper grasssrcdir/debian
subdirectory. This should mostly be identical to the one in the Debian GIS
repository, and maybe to those in Jachym's Gutsy package. I'll see whether
I find the time tomorrow evening to work on that.
