You can better use dpkg-source -x on the dsc: extra -x, but it unpacks
correctly if:
- the basename inside the .orig.tar.gz is different
- the diff has a diffent basename
- it makes debian/rules executable
and, not in the least: it's the preferred, 'offical' way te extract a
source package, and you can run lintian on the .dsc too.
Comments on the package itself:
- Copyright is inadequate, you _need_ to copy the full copyright
statement in debian/copyright:

- This package lacks a copyright statement at all, it is undistributable
- Section for the -dev should be libdevel, not devel. See
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/
- Are you sure this is optional, and not extra? See
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-subsections
- After I debuild'd it, I noticed a new directory libinklevel-0.6.2
inside my libinklevel-0.6.2 directory, something is wrong
- This is probably not okay:
| cd /tmp/l/libinklevel-0.6.2/debian/tmp/usr/lib && rm -fr libinklevel.so && \
| ln -s libinklevel.so.2.0.6.2 libinklevel.so
| ldconfig /tmp/l/libinklevel-0.6.2/debian/tmp/usr/lib
| ldconfig: Can't create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~:
| Permission denied
| make[1]: *** [install] Fout 1
I don't know much about library building, but the debian build process
should not touch the environment, that includes it should not run
ldconfig.
Did you read all associated documentation? The NM guide in full, the
Packaging Manual in full? You really _need_ to have read them, and yes,
it is much text.
