As I pointed out in Debian ITP #201448, it won't be possible to package StepMania for distribution in Debian for some time, since we don't have a theme appropriate for main. If you want to package it for general use (not for inclusion in Debian), that's fine, but I'd recommend waiting for a release. I'd suggest that one should have sufficient experience to report problems correctly--you didn't give any hint of what didn't work--and a good understanding of build processes and autoconf before making Debian packages, though. -- Glenn Maynard
