There was a MOTU School session about precisely this sort of
packaging, with a page on the wiki:

The referenced page assumes only copy operations. If you need to
link, the easiest way to extend the described method is to use
dh_link. No modification is required to debian/rules, but you'll need
to create a debian/package.links file that indicates what links to
create (man dh_link for details).
