Hello,
What you put in your "upstream" Makefiles is not really relevant to the
packaging: debian's "rules" file (which is a Makefile) has no "install"
target. Well thought upstream Makefiles help for maintaining a package,
though. If you write Makefiles for this install task, make sure they
accept the DESTDIR variable, so that "make install
DESTDIR=debian/package" does its job. The install task can also be done
entirely within "packager-land", i.e. debian/rules.
There's no problem with packaging code that's not compiled. You will
have a binary-arch target which is empty and a binary-indep which is
not. The Architecture: field in the control file should be set to "all".
I would believe -mentors is a better place to boot you up with
packaging.
