Dear Don,

although it is not a final document, you will find a lot of information in the
following draft of the Debian Webapp policy:

http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/webapps-common/webapps-common/trunk/doc/Webapps-Policy-Manual-DRAFT.sgml?view=log

For the installation of the files, it is up to you for the method. If there is
no renaming involved, I strongly recommend to have a look at what the
dh_install from Debhelper can do for you.

Also, if you have not read it yet, the new maintainer guide will provide you
with an example of a simple packaging.

Have a nice day,
