OK, so I think I get this: the debian/ directory materials are not 
really intended for general Linux users working on personal machines, 
but for Debian package maintainers who run package builds on Debian's 
build servers.

Perhaps I should try to devote some work toward making the build/install 
process easier in general.   Right now, building the product requires an 
Ubuntu system; and one with a manually-updated fontforge.  A "make 
install" installs the "gregorio" program but does not install the 
gregoriotex fonts and styles.  These restrictions and inconveniences 
make it difficult for average Linux users to even try out the product, 
and they make it harder for developers to join the project.
