Also, you need to look into policy ...
But if you are looking for a starting reference point, I suggest for you
to look into similar packages. Some package which create multiple
binary, ... aptitude and "apt-get source" are your friend:
mnogosearch-php
mtrg
egroupware-phpbrain
may be candidates to look into as wild guess.
Oh, NM guide is still true. If this is your first program to package,
you may still try to follow NM guide with other source to practice
basics.
There is "hello" package as the most basic C program package example.
