I'm only a system administrator, but from time to time we build debs with new software. And there a good setup.py helps realy, as then the build boils down to: $ python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command debianize $ dpkg-buildpackage -b -rfakeroot If there is an (recent) maintainer build in debian testing/unstable etc., sometimes the debian/ dir could also be copied and simply used with a newer version - but I have not found something good for an actual shinken version in the debian stuff yet. Please tell me if I missed something here. Just 2 more cents...
