I will have some time to look at this next week. I think I should be
able to persuade installCDE to install it's files in a different
directory/$DESTDIR.
CDE will not be runnable in this directory however, but this should be
suitable for packaging.
Well, after weeks of investigation, I think I've got a fairly minor
modification to installCDE that will work.
I've merged it to the cde-next-2 branch, so if it works for you, I'll
then merge it into master.
So, after building CDE, run the installCDE command like so, to install
everything under /tmp/CDE-BUILD/ :
make World
...
sudo admin/IntegTools/dbTools/installCDE -s `pwd` -DontRunScripts \
-destdir /tmp/CDE-BUILD
You should then see /tmp/CDE-BUILD/usr/....
Everything appears to be there, with the correct owner/group/perms.
Let me know if that works for you.
PS: Don't run the scripts (use the -DontRunScripts option) - since they
will always work from /. In time, that could probably be fixed too, but
I don't think it's necessary.

Hi all,
If any of you were curious about the status of the debian package, I
must unfortunately report that development has temporarily halted. It
isn't that I have lost interest or anything, the problem is that, in
short, debian needs to be able to install the package to customizable
directories, and the install script only supports installation on
root. So if anyone wants to see a debian package come to fruition, see
if you can make this change, and I will get right back to work on it,
in the meantime, I will be doing code cleanup and starting a Minix port.
Thank you for your time,
-Chase
