what i was getting at is that debian doesn't use a single monolithic
file like the rpm "spec file" format. there's an entire subdirectory that
includes something kind of like a spec file (debian/rules) as well as many
helper files, patches, copyright info, and other debian-specific stuff.
with the way we've packaged nagios, everything you need to build a deb
is in this directory, though some other packages rely on an external
diff. so, you could check out a copy of the ./debian from our alioth
cvs repository, but like i said, i think it's inviting unnecessary
duplication of effort.

fair enough. i'm not familiar with the package, but it came up with
the rest of the results from "apt-cache search nagios"
