I've actually built quite a few packages for Debian. Just never a single binary. All the tools want a complete source-tree to do so. I have a pre-compiled, stand-alone binary (only requires libc6) and want to make a deb so I can make it part of a virtual package which will install all dependancies for a certain 'class/type' of machine I have.
I also don't have the source, or say for example.. it's a perl script.. or some bash scripts.. how would you do it?
