You need to use dpkg-buildpackage (or its wrappers debuild or better pdebuild) to build the package (see Developers Reference [1]). Looking at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ivaldes-hal-pc/astronaut-vista-server/trunk/files/head:/gtm/DEBIAN/ there id no rules file, the control file is invalid and the postinst is dealing with "/opt". I have no idea what to do to get a Debian package from the files you provided. The default way to build a Debian package using the tools mentioned above leads to a Debian source package containing a *.dsc file and a file which contains the diff against the upstream source (in source format 1.0 it is diff.gz in 3.0 it is debian.tar.gz). We need to create these files using the normal build process to upload to the Debian archive and the content inside the package needs to be in /usr not /opt and not /usr/local or something like this. I would love to cooperate with anybody who is willing to do this work and has some (at least basic) knowledge about GT.M (which I do not have). Kind regards Andreas.
