Hey, this is nice :)
But there's at least one problem with the package:
# dpkg -i libapulse_0.1.5-1_i386.deb
Selecting previously unselected package libapulse:i386.
(Reading database ... 410300 files and directories currently installed.)

trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpulse.so.0', which is also in package libpulse0:i386 5.0-13
Errors were encountered while processing:
libapulse_0.1.5-1_i386.deb
(And:
% aptitude why libpulse0:i386
i skype:i386 Depends libpulse0:i386
)
I haven't tried but this probably needs some Conflicts+Provides.
And even later it doesn't look good:
# dpkg -i --force-overwrite libapulse_0.1.5-1_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 410300 files and directories currently installed.)

But I can confirm that a skype test call works after installing
libapulse:i386.

Hi gregor,
I think now it is fixed after Rinat suggests:

I change install lib dir to:
-DAPULSEPATH=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/apulse
it definitely fix the issue.
But it makes another problem, lintian return:
