Separating them is probably a good idea short term at least. I'd like to=20 get the current released version 1.23 packaged. This may require patches=20 to fix lintian issues (some of which have already been applied to master). Longer term we can decide to either maintain the packaging completely=20 separately (and remove the /debian directory from crosstool-ng.git) or=20 bribe Alexy to make it part of the upstream release process.
