I use debhelper version 4 for this (see man debhelper for that). More
information is also in the developers reference, "Best packaing
practices",
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html#s-multiple-binary

You could also take a look at a package that does this.

I hope this helps for the first steps.


Cheers,
Andi
