There is a tool named as apt-build. It should be satisfied for your need.

Hello! I've an idea for a new apt-get package style :

Developer side :
-The developer create a ./install script in the source code.
-The install script executes all commands necessary for install the software. Also, it getting dependancies, etc.
-The developer create a tarball (.tar.bzip2) and rename the file name. Instead of software.tar.bzip2 , that's software.deb
-The developer distribute the software.deb

Apt-get side :
-The apt-get tool download software.deb from the Debian repository.
-The program is installed with dpkg

Dpkg side :
-dpkg rename the software.deb software.tar.bzip2
-tar uncompress the software.tar.bzip2
-cd go into the "software" folder
-./install execute install script
