Okay, so I don't make it depend on anything? It requires perl and libgpm
to be able to compile at all. I guess I just put libc5 and gpm as the
dependancies, right?

Okay, done.
Now, what do I do to actually generate the source package?
Do I run dpkg-buildpackage?
Also, what do I do about this: FTE requires read/write access to the
/dev/vcsa* devices. Do I add a new group to /etc/groups, and chown the
devices to that? I'll crosspost this reply to the debian-devel group.
