Hi, I am upstream as well as would like to become a debian maintainer some day. Still learning packaging.
Due to the luxury of being upstream as well, the upstream source package can be formatted in any way I wish. [In this case it is a simple package with shell scripts only.] Personally I find it useful to have a folder layout like this: upstream_source_folder/usr/bin/some_script upstream_source_folder/usr/bin/another_script upstream_source_folder/etc/some_config upstream_source_folder/etc/init.d/some_init Those should get installed to /usr/bin/some_script etc. Is it possible to simplify packaging? I mean, is it possible to automate this without using a package.install file? In other words, is it possible to tell debhelper, "use the upstream_source_folder/usr/bin/some_script and install it to /usr/bin/some_script"?
