The debian/* files have a very strict format which is sensitive to whitespace in particular. I recommend using something like "dh_make" to lay down the initial debian/* tree, and tools like "dch"[1] to manipulate the changelog. I think the packaging section[2] of the Devel wiki is useful, and found the packaging tutorial[3] quite good. Good luck! -Kees [1] in the "devscripts" package [2] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment#head-86b3c262f4e4b222c867211cb06bb46523c7cc6f [3] http://women.debian.org/wiki/English/PackagingTutorial -- Kees Cook
