Thanks for the help qwerty & michaelnt. I do not have a setup.py file, so I'm trying qwerty's method, but I've run into a problem:

I commented out all of the $(MAKE) lines out of rules; I assume that is the correct thing to comment out. Then I created a install file with this:

Code:
etc/ /
home/ /
usr/ /
Please tell me if this is the wrong format. I then uncommented dh_install from rules, but when I run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot, I get this error:

Code:
[sbox-DIABLO_X86: ~/quickclip-0.12.0] > dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
dpkg-buildpackage: source package is quickclip
dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 0.12.0-1
dpkg-buildpackage: source changed by brent User <bchiodo@gmail.com>
dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture i386
dpkg-buildpackage: source version without epoch 0.12.0-1
: Using Scratchbox tools to satisfy builddeps
 fakeroot debian/rules clean
dh_testdir
dh_testroot
rm -f build-stamp configure-stamp
# Add here commands to clean up after the build process.
#/scratchbox/tools/bin/make clean
dh_clean
dh_clean: Sorry, but 5 is the highest compatibility level supported by this debhelper.
make: *** [clean] Error 1
[sbox-DIABLO_X86: ~/quickclip-0.12.0] >
Any more help is greatly appreciated
