Hi Nick,

You're a lot closer to the mark than you might realise ;)

If you grab and unpack the source package, (apt-get source ...) you'll find a "debian" directory. Inside is a "rules" file which controls the actions dpkg takes during the package building process.

Take a look at what it calls configure/make with and you're all set :)

(like an rpm spec file or a gentoo ebuild file) in the source package?
