I did some tries, too. Not with the intent to do something clean
enough
to send into debian, but it works well enough to be distributed (
for a
lib I needed in a software that I never finished to write, btw.
Still
have the sources, which are still free too, so maybe some day...) .
What you need to know are the dependencies of the software you
compiled.
With those informations, you can write a "control" file in a DEBIAN
subdirectory located where you have the binaries.
This file is made with at least those lines ( it worked for me(tm)
):
Package: <package's name>
Version: <package's version>
Section: <package's section, aca, for example, lib, admin, devel...>
Priority: <package's priority. In your case, it will be "optional">
Architecture: <package's architecture. For non binary programs, it
is
often "all", otherwise the arch for which you compiled the stuff. It
can
be generated with dpkg --print-architecture if you did not cross
compiled.>
Depends: <list of the packages the user have to install to make the
program running>
Recommends: < list of packages that could adds features to your
program>
Suggests: < I personally used it to give a link to documentation...
more informations will come from people with real experience I
guess. >

When you have the folder DEBIAN with a correct "control" file, you
can
go in the parent's directory of your future package, and run, as
root
"#dpkg-deb -b <package's folder>" which will build your .deb file.
This method does not use a lot of deb's features, but it makes a deb
package that can be used and is not too hard to follow. I had
automated
some of those tasks in some shell scripts, too.
