How-do-I make a non-native Debian package?
I wrote my own app and it is debianized already, the way
mplayer already is. But I mistakenly made it a "native" Debian
package when it is really a tarball and/or a debian package.
There will *never* be a "diff" between "debian" and "upstream"
(I wrote it.)
I can use "make dist" to produce a tarball. Should I make my
Debian scripts operate on this outputted tarball?
And as a related question, I don't wish to become a Debian Developer,
but this app is at least as good as some of the things in the archive.
I suppose I need a "sponsor." This is a simple GTK app.
What is the protocol for asking, and would anybody be willing to upload
it for me (once we take a good close look at it.)
This app has already been on Freshmeat/Sourceforge for a year:

(new release 1.5 will be on freshmeat tomorrow)

(1.5 version already up there)
