[collectd] how to build a debian package of a daily snapshot?

Great :-)

I'm still messing around with this, but yes, packages are already built
(hopefully) each time new patches are commited. See the README of
https://github.com/collectd/collectd-ci for the "where".

Once the last details are sorted out, I'll send a more formal email to
the mainling-list with all the details.

In the meantime, fell free to give these packages a try. Feedback is of
course welcome :)
