You're still better off building from source even if your software
doesn't use a Makefile. Just think "Do whatever is necessary to
compile" where the docs say "make" and "Get your software to install
into debian/<pkgname>/" where it says "make DESTDIR=$(PKGNAME)
install".
If you _really_ just want to make binary packages, look at alien.
