Re: Packaging latex macros

If it is only about macros and no fonts or so, then simply put the
files into the appropriate place in
/usr/share/texmf/...
and call in the rules file
dh_installtex
that should be enough. THe man page of dh_installtex should give you
more options. And then there is the slightly outdated
/usr/share/doc/tex-common/Debian-TeX-Policy.*
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
BTW, there are some package in TeX Live 2010 that might be interesting
for you, too (and they will be in TL2010 when packaged):
[~] tlmgr show circuitikz
package: circuitikz
category: Package
shortdesc: Draw electrical networks with TikZ.
longdesc: The package provides a set of macros for naturally typesetting electrical and (somewhat less naturally, perhaps) electronic networks. It is designed as a tool that is easy to use, with a lean syntax, native to LaTeX, and directly supporting PDF output format. So is based on the very impressive pgf/TikZ package.
[~] tlmgr show circ
package: circ
category: Package
shortdesc: Macros for typesetting circuit diagrams.
longdesc: Several electrical symbols like resistor, capacitor, transistors etc., are defined. The symbols can be connected with wires. The package also contains an American resistor symbol for those of us on that side of the Atlantic. The package also has simple facilities for producing optics diagrams; however, no-one would deny that the PSTricks pst- optic package, or the MetaPost makecirc package does the job better.
[~] tlmgr show pst-circ
package: pst-circ
category: Package
shortdesc: PSTricks package for drawing electric circuits.
longdesc: Pst-circ is a package built using PSTricks and in particular pst-node. It can easily draw current 2-terminal devices and some 3- and 4-terminal devices used in electronic or electric theory. The package's macros are designed with a view to 'logical' representation of circuits, as far as possible, so as to relieve the user of purely graphical considerations when expressing a circuit.
Best wishes
