It's not as big of a problem as it seems. It's basically a one-liner (with some obvious minor tweaks like deps, changelog, etc):

Code:
dh_make example export DEBFULLNAME=”Hack Er” dh_make –email [email_address] --copyright=bsd --file ../foo.tar.gz
That's basically it ! Take a look at the packaging slides (the line above is from that presentation), basically everything you need to know is in there.

The only snag is that dpkg-dev (and dh_make) are not in Fremantle extras yet, but I guess that can be remedied if there is interest (Diablo has them).
