for me easiest way to create multiple packages from single autotools based source is using CDBS. it is quite simple: basically :
00 - in your control file: you describe all the packages you want (for example: packageX, packageX-utils, packageX-data) add build dependeny on cdbs 01 - You create .install .docs .dirs .init .cron.d, etc for every package that it is needed. for example: packageX.install , packageX-utils.install packageX-data 02 - The most simple rules file using cdbs in that configuration would be: include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/autotools.mk 03 - Create all shared files (copyright, compat, etc.) This is just one simple example. caio1982 has one great site [1] with rules files of all packages in debian that use cdbs. This can be of great help, You can found cdbs documentation in /usr/share/doc/cdbs/ This message express my humble opinion.
