Hi all, I am sometimes wondering what is the best approach for packages with no makefiles : a) dh_install, b) Write a Makefile, submit it to Upstream, and ship it in the debian directory in the meantime. (as a patch ? as a file to be moved in at the begining of the install rule in debian/rules ?). The advantage of b) is that it then contributes to trivialise the packaging rules, especially if it is incorporated upstream.
