Derek,

Have you discovered checkinstall yet?  Allows you to generate
uncomplicated debs from source.  Well, uncomplicated - I use it for
xemacs!   It is as simple as

./configure
make
su
checkinstall

I always specify --prefix=/usr/local     just in case.  


This works nicely for a trial install!
