No, I didn't post it, but please find it attached. I took the description from
one of your web pages, but made it a bit less marketish. :-)
I think I have the build-deps correct now.

Actually, I don't remember the very first steps I took. I did this in August.
However, I think that svn-buildpackage is using debhelper, and I have
previously found it very useful. It is very nice to be able to maintain it
all under version control, and svn-inject did the whole process of creating
the stub and checking it in.
I figured since this is quite easy, and my packages are not in such a good
shape, so it might be better to start from scratch and possibly create a
debian/ directory in the CVS. My package would then only be a diversion from
this.

Ah, OK! Actually, I found a debian/init.d.ex too.

This should perhaps be done when first configuring virtuoso in the install
process?

That's a nice feature! It can be added to debian/rules but perhaps there are
better ways of doing it too?
Kind regards

Description: Virtuoso Open-Source Edition
Virtuoso is a high-performance object-relational SQL database. As a
database, it provides transactions, a smart SQL compiler, powerful
stored-procedure language with optional Java and .Net server-side
hosting, hot backup, SQL-99 support and more. It has all major
data-access interfaces, such as ODBC, JDBC, ADO .Net and OLE/DB.
.
OpenLink Virtuoso supports SPARQL embedded into SQL for querying RDF
data stored in Virtuoso's database. SPARQL benefits from low-level
support in the engine itself, such as SPARQL-aware type-casting rules
and a dedicated IRI data type.
