Yeah no it isn't. I use checkinstall when I compile stuff from source
because it's a neat way to keep track of self-compiled programs, but I
don't think it works for creating generic packages.
Also a thing to note is that you'll probably also need to pass compiler
flags to GCC to generate generic code, otherwise your package will only
work for people with similar enough CPU's to yours.
