No, you aren't. They are KDE specific. The documentation consists of the
manuals for automake, autoconf, and possible autoheader.

It's correct, in that nobody has coded something for KDevelop to automatically
make proper, or even improper, .debs. I would suggest going through the
Debian maintainer's documentation available at debian.org, as there are a
couple of very good walkthroughs of making your first debian package. Once
you do it a couple of times, it gets to be pretty easy.
HTH and HAND!
