	Umm, would debian-devel be a better place for this topic?
 Anyways, when I was starting out with Debian, I had the good fortune
 to take over a well maintained package (make), this was pre debmake
 days. Having a package that was working as expected was a wonderful
 tutorial; to some extent, ever since, I have used previous packages
 to jump start a new one.

	Maybe you could look at the ./debian/ directory of some
 package (download the source and diff files for something), and have
 a go.
