Cerbero 1.12.4 Problem with paths inside *.deb files

[David Ing]

I think I have noticed a problem with the *.deb files that I generated using Cerbero 1.12.4.

I build the files on Lubuntu 16.04, Python 2.7.12:

git clone https://github.com/GStreamer/cerbero.git -b 1.12

cd cerbero

git checkout 1.12.4

./cerebro-uninstalled bootstrap \

 && ./cerebro-uninstalled package gstreamer-1.0

# *.deb files appear after a few hours

I crack open one of the deb files using the  `ar -x $filename` command, and the file contains a folder structure that seems wrong.  For example, when I crack open this file:

gstreamer-1.0-editing-dev_1.12.4-1_amd64.deb

I see a folder structure that mimics the folder structure from my machine when the files were created.  Some of the files it contains are:

./home/ding/dev/github/gstreamer/cerbero/build/dist/linux_x86_64/lib/libges-1.0.a

./home/ding/dev/github/gstreamer/cerbero/build/dist/linux_x86_64/lib/libges-1.0.la 

./home/ding/dev/github/gstreamer/cerbero/build/dist/linux_x86_64/lib/libges-1.0.so

Also, I can see the same path inside of the gst-editing-services-1.0.pc file

prefix=/home/ding/dev/github/gstreamer/cerbero/build/dist/linux_x86_64

exec_prefix=${prefix}

libdir=/home/ding/dev/github/gstreamer/cerbero/build/dist/linux_x86_64/lib

includedir=${prefix}/include/gstreamer-1.0

Name: gst-editing-services

Description: GStreamer Editing Services

Version: 1.12.4

Requires: gstreamer-1.0 gstreamer-base-1.0 gstreamer-controller-1.0 gstreamer-pbutils-1.0

Libs: -L${libdir} -lges-1.0

Cflags: -I${includedir}

I don't know much about *.deb files, but I'm guessing this is wrong.  Is there a way to fix this problem?
