Good point :)
I've now added an ifdef in the Makefile, if destdir is not specified,
it will install to /usr/local/bin, if it is specified, it will install
to $(DESTDIR)/usr/bin

My dependencies were pretty much based on the script example from the
maintainers guide. I don't know of a reliable way to determine the
build dependencies otherwise. I've removed the lib dependencies, gcc
and the versions as you recommended. I've kept the version dependency
for debhelper as that was put there by a script, not sure if the
version is needed or not.
Thank you very much for your feedback :)
