I believe you only need to place directories there that are not created by the Makefile's 'make install' target. I think you can start without a file there and then build. Any Makefile complaints about no such file or directory which are caused by it trying to copy files into the image area but no directory existing can be handled by placing the directory in dirs and having debhelper create the directory first. Most automake Makefiles will be fine. I believe this mostly applies to other Makefiles probably hand created which don't make parent directories first. Bob
