I still need help with the "source" package issue, to resolve this problem of a native package. (As I understand that this is indeed a problem)... I have done what Kumar proposed - I've put an install file - daloradius-0.9.3/debian/install which contains: usr usr/ (the contents of the package to be copied is in daloradius-0.9.3/usr) I have also used the original tarball package and renamed it to daloradius_0.9.3.orig.tar.gz and put it outside the daloradius-0.9.3/ directory, then while running dpkg-buildpakage inside daloradius-0.9.3/ I am receiving the following output: dpkg-buildpackage: source package is daloradius dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 0.9.3 dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by Liran Tal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture i386 fakeroot debian/rules clean dh_testdir dh_testroot rm -f build-stamp configure-stamp #
