Comment 2 for bug 503554

I'd be very interested in helping out with this as I'm currently simply copying <srcdir>/{etc,usr} to my <buildroot> and I'm also including a Makefile snippet copied from the .deb source to generate translations in a clean way on Foresight Linux.

goozbach: Do you by any chance have an up-to-date autotooled branch of Byobu up your sleeve that I could help test?
