Or omit the debian directory. Rename the top-level directory to
PACKAGENAME-VERSION (e.g. fontcollection-1.0/), cd into it, and
run `dh_make' (after installer the debhelper package) and select
`s' when prompted. Then cd to the newly created debian directory
and edit the files you need and delete most of the *.ex files
that you don't need.
