Well, here is what I did; I hacked debian/rules so that:
 o it first builds aterm with --enable-fading;
 o it moves 'aterm' to 'aterm-fade';
 o it eventually builds the classic aterm.

debclean now runs $(MAKE) distclean but also src/aterm-fade.

and install does a make install, then also copies aterm-fade to
debian/tmp/usr/bin, and symlinks the manpage.

I have the bad feeling that this is not very "clean", but it's
the only way I found to do it in one step. It was a quick hack,
I'll have a closer look at it later (I'm still at work so I don't
have much time :>)

The new packages are already there:
deb http://www.via.ecp.fr/~sam/ debian/

Sam.
