Umm, I don't get it. How does this generate a Debian package? (Ie. what command spits out a .deb file that Joe Luser can download and install trivially?)
That would be "debian/rules binary". The rules script calls $(MAKE) install DESTDIR=`pwd`/debian/tmp and expects that this call installs everything in debian/tmp. Output of the rules script is a .deb package in the parent directory. You install .deb packages with "dpkg --install blubb_0.1.0_i386.deb". You deinstall packages with "dpkg --remove blubb". You purge packages with "dpkg --purge blubb". Purging additionally removes any config files of the package while --remove leaves them so you do not have to reconfigure if you install the package again.
