Hello,
As a general rule we do not give assistance to people who are doing things
outside the scope of the written book instructions. We do not use either the
debian packaging system nor that of Redhat or whatever they like to call
themselves these days.
I know from personal experience that you have to have an expert grasp on the
various package managers to be able to successfully create a working package,
and that is on a system that natively uses such a system, which lfs/blfs does
not.
Christopher.
