[elbe-devel] [PATCH] contrib: Keep the debian directory after debianizing the kernel.

[Richard Cochran]

The normal Linux build process ignores debian/ and even deletes it on 'make mrproper'.
After going through the trouble to debianize a kernel, we really want to keep that
directory around. This patch does that.

This patch fixes github issue #87.

(Patch applies on kernel v4.3 or newer.)

+Subject: [PATCH] Treat the debian directory as precious.
+
+In the upstream Linux build system, the debian directory is a
+throwaway build product.  However, after elbe debianization, this
+directory should be preserved and maintained like any other part of
+the build system.  This patch removes the directory from the git
+ignore file and from the clean rules.
