alternative to tarballs

["Aldous B Bernardo" <aldous@edsamail.com.ph>]

Hi,
  Is there an alternative to using tarballs? Something like make-kpkg for the kernel. Im having some trobles installing some of my tarball since it doenst update the dpkg database. Im having some difficulties looking for some deb packages that I opt to use tarballs instead ( sometimes there are RPMs but.. no thanks :) ) 
  I was very much impressed by the way make-kpkg compiled and made my custom kernel that I wanted to create packages the same way. Should I compile them to deb first? If so.. how?

Aldous
