Snapshot tarballs and packaging/debian

I have a few questions relating to pike in Debian (as you may know, the previous maintainer has retired from Debian and orphaned his packages). I've figured out that one can get a fresh tarball from http://pike.ida.liu.se/generated/pikefarm/packages/7.6/latest. What's the difference between that and checking out from CVS and running "make source" (which is what I suspect Marek has done), if any? Is there any archive of such tarballs except for the official releases? How did the packaging/debian subdirectory originally come to be? Do you synchronize with the Debian package yourself or has Marek been sending you patches? I see that export.pike adds new records to packaging/debian/changelog. AFAICT, export.pike --tag first increments the build number (to an even number, typically), then tags, then increment the build number again, so that an even build number represents a known state of the source, whereas an odd build number can include any number of commits inbetween.

I don't think we've ever changed the API between x.even.y, but it of course happens in e.g. Pike 7.7.

Wait, there's http://pike.ida.liu.se/download/pub/pike/beta/. Neat. But there's no 7.7 there.

Of course, this is a more practically useful URL, though (for 7.6): http://pike.ida.liu.se/_/cvsview/commits/7.6/src/version.h?u=Pike&f=2007-06… meaning that the 7.6.116 build was made from a CVS tree snapshot from 2007-06-03 22:35:36 UTC.
