Before you jump into building custom Debian packages you should read (or at least skim the crucial parts of) the developer documentation. I suggest starting here: http://www.debian.org/devel/ Here's some documentation about your specific question: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-update.en.html By the way, this question is better suited for debian-devel; this list is for the development of dpkg. Good luck.
