OK, but you can still use checkinstall as it is available in Sarge and Sid. But maybe you have a look at this thread too: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2007/02/msg02585.html since there are given some more useful hints. Actually checkinstall seems to be a suboptimal solution for more complex packages as Roberto wrote there.
