That's what I meant, Ubuntu does copy Debian's LilyPond, so in effect

Whe have this on our website, I think that Anthoy Fok provided
this recipe

  The build scripts are in the subdirectory <code>debian/</code>; you
  can make the .deb by doing
  
    tar xzf lilypond-x.y.z.tar.gz
    cd lilypond-x.y.z
    dpkg-checkbuilddeps           # print missing build dependencies
    # apt-get install ...         # install any missing packages
    dch -p -v x.y.z.local.1 "Local build."
    debuild

We could also just copy your ./debian stuff and change the name to
lilypond-snapshot and lilypond-2.6-snapshot or something?
