This seems to be a bit difficult compared to the Ubuntu documentation. But if you take your time and take out the main parts, you can start to build your package and ask the Debian Multimedia Team (there is a newbie discussion right now there) or the Debian mentors mailinglist for assistance. I think there are also a lot of people who uses Ubuntu too. \r -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
