So, you want to build your programs in the first step, and then, in a
second step, create a deb package?

You could use equivs to create a dummy package and use the directory
structure it leaves behind. In debian/rules, you add some cp commands
to copy the files into the proper location below debian/tmp/. Don't
forget to mention the conffiles in debian/conffiles.

Then you can build the package with "fakeroot debian/rules binary".
