I had posted earlier abou using alien to make .deb packages from binaries installed with stow. I said it worked. After more use, I found some problems. They can probably be fixed by unpacking the .deb and adding the stuff that alien couldn't do. dpkg-deb is the program you need and you can find infor- mation about it at http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/packaging.html/- ch-binarypkg.html. OTOH, it's probably easier to get the debianising .diff and dsc off packages.debian.org, and build the package from there.
