I have added dh_install in the binary-arch: stanza of the rules files. 
Still the library files are not included in the .deb files. The new 
build.log can be found at

http://24.58.7.0/debian-mentors/fortranposix-0.1/build.log

Is there any website where I can upload the debian directory? For now, I 
have set up a web server on my laptop and all the relevent files can be 
found at

http://24.58.7.0/debian-mentors/

If there is any public website where I can upload this stuff that would 
be great.

thanks
