Some tips:
Package dependencies and embedded code copies in separate source packages.
Make sure everything is under a free license and has source code present.
Make sure prebuilt files are removed from the upstream git repo,
tarballs and Debian source packages.
Place the package files under /usr/share/zzbulletin.
Have upstream write a script that can be used to setup instances of zzbulletin.
Optional: use debconf prompts to find out if the sysadmin wants an
instance setup and if so, ask for the URLs, filesystem paths, database
information and call the script.
