This is a version of equivs augmented with the (forward-ported) patch from
debian bug report #603850 that adds a new option "-S" (source only).

This option creates source-only packages, suitable for uploading to a
launchpad ppa.

Upstream seems to be of the opinion that packages created with equivs
aren't meant to be uploaded anywhere (which is in a purist sense
correct since equivs' main purpose is to "cheat" debian's package
system for local workarounds like a self-compiled apache).

But, another fairly legitimate use of "equivs" is to easily/fast create
metapackages to automate portions of your setup and these metapackages
are fair game for uploading to a ppa. This is my motivation for maintaining
this version.
