I think it would be even better not to build KDE tarballs manually. Roughly debianizing them seems to be a lot less troublesome. I'm using an adapted template debian/rules file (see below) with dh_make $ dh_make --templates /home/michael/projects/packaging/dh_make_kde $ debuild -us -uc -b The resulting package is far from pretty and lintian complains loudly. But, what can I say, in most cases it works surprisingly well. Also, it's a good idea to have a current version of admin/debianrules handy as this file is outdated in several ("third party") KDE application tarballs.
