Good point :) I've now added an ifdef in the Makefile, if destdir is not specified, it will install to /usr/local/bin, if it is specified, it will install to $(DESTDIR)/usr/bin > - Why do you build depend on libncurses5, libxcursor1, libxft2 and > libxrandr2?

My dependencies were pretty much based on the script example from the maintainers guide. I don't know of a reliable way to determine the build dependencies otherwise. I've removed the lib dependencies, gcc and the versions as you recommended. I've kept the version dependency for debhelper as that was put there by a script, not sure if the version is needed or not.
