I asked a similar question on debian-user, and was recommended to come here
instead.
At my job, we would like to use apt to distribute certain packages, such as
WWW applications written in PHP, to certain other of our machines. The way
I had been doing this was to write a simple Makefile with an empty 'all'
target and having an 'install' target that installs the various files in the
application to their proper locations. This works, for the most part, but
I'm wondering if there's a better way to do it.
