Hi Travis, you can reuse some buildrdeb code that does that: http://github.com/intalio/package_as_deb/blob/master/lib/buildrdeb/package.rb#L33
<http://github.com/intalio/package_as_deb/blob/master/lib/buildrdeb/package.rb#L33>You read the file, eval(its contents), then write it in the target folder in place. The code is not really good looking there but it's really simple. I recommend you try in irb first.
