It's not intended for making debs you could distribute to other people,
but for installing from source on your own systems, checkinstall may be
what you're looking for:
$ apt-cache show checkinstall
Package: checkinstall
Priority: optional
Section: admin
Installed-Size: 132
Maintainer: Matt Hope <dopey@debian.org>
Architecture: all
Version: 1.5.3-1
Depends: installwatch (>> 0.6)
Filename: pool/main/c/checkinstall/checkinstall_1.5.3-1_all.deb
Size: 34260
MD5sum: 1e4eb5a8c1329a9f199e1cbb63f65cca
Description: installation tracker
CheckInstall keeps track of all the files created or
modified by your installation script ("make install"
"make install_modules", "setup", etc), builds a
standard binary package and installs it in your
system giving you the ability to uninstall it with your
distribution's standard package management utilities.
