Hi,

That depends, but for the current situation, I would say no. Firstly,
creating multiple binary packages is harder than a single binary, though

can.
OK, but Im curious: what would be an example of a package with multiple
binaries?
binutils, for example?
gcc has a few (c89& c99 versions, for example)
textutils
openssh (scp, sftp, ssh, ...)
git, imagemagick, mysql, ...
2) I got an error saying it could not find package.orig.tar.gz - what does
that mean?
This means you do not have an original tarball of your package that has the
suffix orig.tar.gz.
Take a look at the debian documentation here which should help:
http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ch-first.en.html#s-dh_make
So, to clarify, I need to have a tarball of the original source inside the
untarred tarball build directory? :-)
Have a look at this page:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Packaging#A_concrete_example_-_rot13
dh_make takes a -f argument that points to the original .tar.gz, and
generates rot13_0.1.orig.tar.gz, rot13_0.1-1.diff.gz, rot13_0.1-1.dsc
and rot13_0.1-1_i386.changes afterwards.
I was following the Maemo docs which dont mention anything about licenses.
Maybe there ought to be a link to the dh_make man page from there?
Which docs were you following, and how did you get there? we're trying
to make http://wiki.maemo.org/Packaging the standard "quick start" page,
and
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Packaging%2C_Deploying_and_Distributing
and http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ the definitive "more than you
ever needed or wanted to know about Debian packaging, but were too
afraid to ignore" pages.
Cheers,
Dave.
