No need to get into details of what exactly is flawed with my packaging style, or how you would do things differently: 1) I can continue to do things my way 2) You can continue being ignorant of Debian not mandating a specific packaging style. 3) Others are still free to follow my recommendation: Package through Debian, not directly at their pet derived distribution, to avoid duplicated work.
