This package contains some useful shell scripts and helpers for building the OpenStack packages in Debian, including:

* shared code for maintainer scripts (.config, .postinst, ...). * init script templates to automatically generate init scripts for sysv-rc and systemd. * tools to build backports using sbuild and/or Jenkins based on gbp workflow. * utility to maintain git packaging (to be included in a debian/rules).

Even if this package is maintained in order to build OpenStack packages, it is of a general purpose, and it can be used for building any package.
