===== Create a deb pkg =====
== Using dpkg-deb ==
the brute force way:
create a folder with DEBIAN/control
run:
dpkg-deb --build folder folder
== Using dpkg-buildpackage ==
debian/rules is a makefile
create a folder with debian/control and debian/rules
the rules files create a DEBIAN folder
run:
dpkg-buildpackage folder
#or (just to create the binary pkg)
fakeroot debian/rules binary
