Hi pluggers,

Having recently discovered the urge to make some Debian package files I 
found an incredible lack of good documentation to do it.  After stuffing 
around and learning how to get 100% lintian friendly packages I am sharing 
my rather straight forward findings here:

http://slowest.net/TUDPG.pdf  (36Kb)

If I could please get some feedback on it and see if it is worth finishing 
I would be most grateful.

Your feedback will determine if I finish the most useful section of the 
document, section 5, where I plan to explain each step in a whole lot more 
detail.

Some people may notice the directory and package name in my examples 
changes from ramp3-0.1 to ramp3-01 mid-document, simple mistake :P  I'll 
fix it soon but it wont affect the usage of the document.  Grammar etc are 
as I typed them, that can come later.

Cheers,

Ryan
