1. You basically download the latest package source from Debian, say
Testing. You modify it to reflect Stable's requirements. This step only
needs to be done once, and I've done it.
2. Then you run debian/rules with arguments telling it to download a
specific version from ATI and "debianize" it.
3. After that you just issue a debuild, optionally with the '-sa'
parameter to include sources in the presumed upload to a Debian archive.
Of course there are incompatibilities occasionally with new versions.
The easy way is to wait for the Debian team to resolve them, and use
their work. Hehe.
I've forgotten the particulars myself so I'll post again when the
package comes out and you can take it from there.
Hey, if you are going to be doing this regularly others should benefit
from your work. I suggest making your work available at Debian
Backports, so that all Stable users can use it! I'm sure they'll accept
you as a maintainer!
