if the command rsync -vua . / is really what you want to do, then instead give a look to dh_builddeb and/or other dh_* commands My script instead was for an _alredy installed_ package, for example when you as user do a ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/NN/packagename-version/;make;make install (where /usr/local/NN/packagename-version is a pre-existing directory owened by the user). Sorry for having misunderstood your problem. Also, give a look at ckeckinstall (really, installwatch) bugs; for example be SURE that your installation does not modify /etc/passwd or any other (inportant) file which exists before the installation. -- Chi usa software non libero avvelena anche te.
