Thanks for you tips! But still some questions remain:

Can you explain 'native package'? Did you mean 'binary-only' package by that?

Hmm, dh_make is trying to do a similar approach. Why not use that way?
In addition i have some questions to the Depends section in debian/control:
${shlibs:Depends} is a nice feature, but i think for many packages/libraries
it is way to strict, because it's always using the versions of installed
packages which may not be necessary. So what's the best/common way to handle
this?
It is possible to let ${shlibs:Depends} do its job and then lower that
requirements? Or is this approach to dangerous and the one and only solution
is always building on a 'clean' woody?
To be somewhat concret:
Currently i am building an inoffical package for k3b (for woody/sarge). I have
KDE3.1 installed and am building against that. But k3b only requires KDE
higher 3.x. So i wonder if i could lower the corresponding entry in the
Depends section?
Thanks in advance
