Packaging Manual:
The uppercase clause in the manual is there for historical reasons.
New packages should use all-lowercase names, even if upstream uses

There's one for the source, and one for each binary package. The control

resolve any conflicts this introduces by checking the possible .rej files.
Remember to use the -u switch if you use uupdate.

Anybody should be able to build a package when its build-time dependencies

As for the building of separate packages without resorting to cutpaste
