------------------
The Debian binary packages in the distribution are generated from
Debian sources, which are in a special format to assist the easy and
automatic building of binaries.
There was a previous version of the Debian source format, which is now
being phased out. Instructions for converting an old-style package
are given in the Debian policy manual.
Those instructions are not in the policy manual, but at the end of the packaing
manual.
