bddeb: new --packaging-branch argument to pull packaging from branch (#576)
bddeb builds a .deb package using the template packaging files in packages/debian/. The new --packaging-branch flag allows to specify a git branch where to pull the packaging (i.e. the debian/ directory) from. This is useful to build a .deb package from master with the very same packaging which is used for the uploads.
