Hi Jamie,As a Debian package maintainer, you are certainly aware of the EPICS Debian packaging activities [1, 2].
Contributions are highly welcome.
I would strongly advise against using it as a prototype for other projects.
For this application (building Linux kernel modules) I fully agree.For EPICS related applications that need the same cross compilation target architectures as your main EPICS tree - things might be different.
