The learning curve for packages is steep. For a Debian-based system the easiest way to roll custom packages is I.M.O. to use "pbuilder" so the system does not get totally polluted by build dependencies and other only-ever-used-once cruft. Pbuilder works on Ubuntu too - I have an old SUN Ultra SPARC 10 so very occasionally I need to package/rebuild src-packages some tool that is not in the distribution. > And before you say it: yes indeed, it assumes you know how to use the > command line, navigate your filesystem, copy/move things around, unpack an > archive, read a text file etc...

People just forget how hard that was to learn.
