The idea is for example that the "install" target will do default actions (call make install, build temporary directories, compress files, build deb…) except when you "override" a part. Moreover, certain parts follow a certain template : create empty directories, move files, etc. So they can be moved out of the Makefile, in package.dirs, package.install files, and so on. The mailing list does not seem to allow attachments, so I sent you a patch set that does exactly that. I factored your debian/rules to do the minimum in it, and use debhelper for the rest (it might be possible to reduce it further with dh --sourcedirectory=gtk but I am not sure). I kept the patches separate so that you can follow the process. Oh, and I moved doc/free42/README.gtk to doc/free42/README as this is the general purpose readme file for this package.
