This is a complex one releated specifically to Debian/Ubuntu packaging (i.e. making .debs).
I've got a set of projects that are all currently separate. Using my real project (Jellyfin) here for simplicity.
There's a server component, a web component, and an ffmpeg component. Each has its own upstream source repository.
What I would like to do is build a single debian/ config, i.e. control, changelog, rules, etc. that would:
(a) build all 3 parts
(b) package them all in their separate .debs
(c) have a single source (.dsc) archive out at the end.
So far, I've not found any examples of a project/package that is in this situation. Most seem to just have a single upstream code repo, and most of the tooling e.g. git-buildpackage seem built around that fact.
The most obvious way I can think to do this is using submodules inside of a parent Git repository that contains the debian/ stuff. I've crafted rules that work for this, but the problem is that dpkg-source loses its brains in various trying to make a source archive. So rather than asking about those "Y"s, I'm questioning the "X" instead.
Does anyone know of an example of some package that does something like this?
