[llvm-dev] How to create Debian packages for release 3.9.0

L.S.,

I'm currently in the process of creating Debian packages for
clang/llvm release 3.9.0. For this I'm using the steps as explained on
'http://apt.llvm.org/building-pkgs.php'. Up until now I have done:

$ debcheckout svn://anonscm.debian.org/svn/pkg-llvm/llvm-toolchain/
$ cd llvm-toolchain/branches
$ sh 3.9/debian/orig-tar.sh RELEASE_390 final

Now, as is explained, I would have to run 'unpack.sh', however, this
script assumes the version name to be an SVN-version-based name (which
is not the case for '3.9'). So I had to modify unpack.sh for this. Now
for one of the last steps of unpack.sh, there is the line:

  cp -R ../snapshot/debian .

But this step should also be changed for a specific release version
build, now the patches fail (and most likely the build as well, later
on). Where can I find the properly versioned 'debian' directory for my
specific release version build?
