So in a fit of optimism I thought I'd give submission to debian a go. 
Based on Andrew's work I've got packaging for the released 1.22.0 with 
some patches I need for my own selfish needs.

Andrew are you happy to be listed in the debian/control as the 
maintainer or do you want me to put my name in there instead (or should 
I put Bryan).

I also notice that the tarball from github[1] has some unfortunate paths 
in it, "crosstool-ng-crosstool-ng-1.22.0" which makes packaging it a bit 
of a pain (1.21.0 also seems to have the same issue).

Is there any way we can get that fixed? I have re-generated the tarball 
locally but if someone were to compare the md5sum of my tarball to the 
one from github they might think something malicious was going on.

Thanks,
Chris
