The content is what I wrote earlier + something more, like:
- binary incompability between distributions. A package for debian
should be build on a debian system and so on
* Different compiler flags
* Different sonames of related libraries
- there is as mentioned the dpkg-shlibdeps issue, but also the issue
with generation of shlibs files
- Interactino with debian specific changes to other packages

Just to make everything clear: You wrote a tool to bulid debian
packages without actually looking in to the policies for doing debian
packages? And get tools released to actually do this?

I haven't looked at opensync, but usually Michael Banck knows what he is
doing.
Another thing to look at could be kde4 or some of the related packages
like soprano.
