Dear Team, Can you please suggest me right way to package KIO slave module for recoll? Please look at details in upstream's email

This allows searching inside KDE Konqueror, or in KDE programs File-Open dialogs. The KIO module is built using cmake, the default tool for KDE 4. I have seen other examples of KIO modules, and it seems that this is not a problem. The KIO will be a separate binary package, because, obviously, I don't want the recoll package to depend on KDE. The problem I have is that the KIO source code is inside the recoll tree, ie inside recoll-x.y.z/kde/kioslave/recoll/, and this really does not match what the debian tools apparently expect: having a top directory named kio-recoll-x.y.z, having the build directory at the top of the tree, etc. I can change the structure of the source tree, but I would like to keep only one tar file, as the KIO needs the main recoll source to build, and is itself small, so it would look a bit stupid to have recoll-x.y.z.tar.gz and kio-recoll-x.y.tar.gz both being 95% the same code. I also don't intend to become a packaging expert, just to make sure that the software will be easy to handle, and the surest way would be to run a debuild before releasing the source. So would you know how I should address the problem, or, where I should best ask questions, or could you point me to some documentation ?
