Basically, take dist tarball, rename to appropriate .orig.tar.gz name, copy in debian directory, call dpkg-source to make diff and dsc, call pdebuild with various arguments to make debs, possibly needing to make previous debs available to pbuilder as build-depends for subsequent debs.

Also, is SCons supported as a module type?

There is no support for modules stored in bzr yet, partly because I was waiting for 0.8 to come out — the new checkout feature feels like the best option for jhbuild setups.

Looking forward to the new refactoring.
