You might find the checkinstall package to be of some use here. It's
worked quite nicely for most things I've tried it for.
That would be more of the quick short cut way of doing it which always
seems to byte you in the ass later (perhaps when sarge is released).
Also it expects you to be installing software that has 'make install'
etc. Which our software doesn't necessarily have either. So as part of
turning everything into debian packages, they will also get nice shiny
Makefiles.
