I built a package and did some tests. I have two things to mention. First, I'd propose that you apply the attached simple patch to the Makefile, which will create $(INSTDIR) if it doesn't already exist. This makes it easier to install the program into a temporary directory. Second, part of the Debian distribution requirements is that all binaries must have a manpage. I've attached the extremely simple manpage that I put together for focal.
