works beautifully
(of course you should start from releases not from git master, and remove the
git dependency)
change debian/source/format to 3.0 (quilt)
change debian/changelog to 1.3-1
and live happy

the configuration file is useful for *everybody* who want to build the package,
right?
even if they build from source without dh or whatever, and even if they build
in a non-deb
build system.
In that case, you have to install it from cmake, and make users happy with the
build and their make install.
This is what I did:
--- snetmanmon-1.3.orig/CMakeLists.txt
+++ snetmanmon-1.3/CMakeLists.txt
@@ -49,3 +49,4 @@ SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES(send_rpc_ra PROPER
LINK_FLAGS "$ENV{LDFLAGS}"
)
INSTALL(PROGRAMS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/send_rpc_ra DESTINATION sbin)
+INSTALL(FILES snetmanmon.conf.full_example DESTINATION /etc RENAME
snetmanmon.conf)
add the file in CMakeLists.txt
(dpkg-source --commit to extract a patch)
remove the dh_auto_install (the etc part)
add /etc in snetmanmon.install file.
I installled and I have /etc/snetmanmon.conf in the system, installed in the
right way (TM).
cheers,
