i was just thinking that because packages are allowed to enter and leave things in the user folder that they would easily be able to do the replacement, but i still need help actually writing the deb file.
What do you mean by user folder? /home/user/ ?

If so, it's considered bad form to write/remove/alter files in the home directories.

however that still requires root access, thus possibly turning my 770 into a brick
I wouldn't worry about turning your 770 into a brick, it's certainly not easy to do.

You'd be far better off just enabling R&D mode, then do "sudo gainroot" and cp the file from your memory card to the appropriate location.

Unless there's some reason to use a deb other than worrying about potentially bricking the device...?
