Depending on your own ambition there are several approaches. The easiest and simplest way is to use "dpkg-deb -b" which does right what you asked for. A slightly more advanced way would be to use tools like checkinstall(1) which require some Makefile which installs files to the file system. The cleanest and most formidable solution is to build a regular Debian package like we do for Debian archives proper. The New Maintainers' Guide [1] has instructions to get started. In your case you can follow the usual instructions, just skip the build process (dh_auto_configure, dh_auto_build), as your stuff is shipped in binary form already. More concrete help is probably available once you ask concrete questions.
