I really don't, but I can tell you that for each package installed, you
can do something like: "zless /usr/share/doc/<package>/*" and find out
all sorts of spiffy info...

One thing you can do, since FreeAmp has already been packaged by Debian,
is get the source .deb and see what they did - "apt-get source freeamp"
in this case - and look in the debian/ subdirectory. There is a
makefile called "rules" that runs configure, make, make install, etc.
It should compile out of the box (if you install debhelper,
dh_buildpackage will build a package for you, or you could just "apt-get
-b source package") so you can see exactly what was done. Just look at
the .diff.gz that comes with the source package.
