Debian New Maintainers' Guide

    This document will try to describe building of a Debian GNU/Linux
    package to the common Debian user (and wannabe developer) in
    common language, and well covered with working examples.

    Unlike previous attempts, this one is based on debhelper and the
    new tools available to maintainers. The author is making every
    attempt to incorporate and unify previous efforts.

<http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/index.en.html> or
<http://packages.debian.org/maint-guide> to install it locally as a
Debian package.

You'll also want to install <http://packages.debian.org/debhelper> and
probably dh-make as well. fakeroot is a good addition if it's not
already required by the dependencies of these two.
