This assumption includes the possibility of zero source code, which needs no further preparation. A Makefile would be a way to interface with Debian's magic. The "all:" target which i proposed would cover the unneeded compilation. Other targets mentioned in the Debian docs (e.g. "install:", "check:") would care for other aspects.

In general you should rather follow Sven than me. I just maintain some inherited packages which suck on an autotools setup which i maintain as upstream. All learned heuristically. Have a nice day :) Thomas
