On the flip side, if you are interested in building regular debian
packages, you might find 'dh_make' a great starting point.

Here's an example script that does python packages into debs that I
wrote prior to fpm:
https://github.com/jordansissel/python-packaging/blob/master/python2d...

In general:

This will create a debian directory for you with a few things filled
in already (like the name, etc)
  dh_make -s -n -p 'mysimplepackage_1.0' < /dev/null

Then you can just 'debuild -us -uc' to get your package rolling. You
may have to tweak the 'rules' file or other features, but in general,
dh_make should get you on the right path :)
