I see.
My build has completed, and I tried issuing
dpkg -i <packagename>.deb

There is an issue with modules versions, however, that I will need to
look into. I am doing that now. It seems to me that using the
--append-to-version option will be helping here. From one of the FAQs
I've seen it looks like the modules directory will be named with the
version extension too.

Thank you for your answer.
