The best way to learn who to do it is to take a simple package (such as
hello) and use dpkg-deb to extract both the contains (-x) and the control
files (-e) in a directory... After that, you can look at some of the src
files.
And please, use dpkg-deb -b to build you're package. It's really mush
easier and could avoid some errors.
Good luck!
