Hi Garie,
maybe you could put the source package somewhere online so we can have
a closer look. (If it doesn't build, put a tarball of the debian
directory somehere.) Also, include the full build output. Arguing
about short snippets doesn't make much sense because the error might
as well be elsewhere.
If ld complains that "main" is missing, it means that you are trying
to link an executable from a set of .o files that doesn't have a
main() function. In this case, it seems that "set" is empty.

Does it compile from the command line, without any dpkg/debian tools?
