[packagekit] make distclean does not undo all changes

[Matthias Klumpp]

Hi!
Richard, can you please publish a source tarball which contains all the
files a PackageKit build creates and does not delete after build too?
(Run build, run make distclean and package the resulting sources)
My changes on the Debian packaging are no good way to workaround this
problem, I was told to ask upstream to fix this as it is the best way for
solving the problem. To have clean sources after build is a must for a good
Debian package.
Thanks!

If there's a public Git clone, I can work on the cmake transition too, if
you want.
