Debian packaging is done in special chroot (pbuilder, cowbuilder, ...)
with only packages specified in debian/control file [1] in
Build-depends field.

Also it is forbidden to upload packages with version control files
(.git, .svn, .hg, ...). In Ubuntu Launchpad, source code is first
fetched from SVN to Bazaar and than it is build.

I have some more notes/questions to Debian packaging. I will create
new thread for it.
