This set of patches adds a very basic debian package definition. The package installs to
/usrrather than/usr/local, and puts the documentation in the right place.There are a couple of minor tweaks to the Makefile necessary to get this to be smooth: firstly, the debian helper scripts expect the Makefile to respect the DESTDIR environment variable, which I've added. Secondly, the helper scripts install the docs themselves, and don't rely on the
make installtask to do it for them. This means that before I split themake installtask out tomake install_files, I was getting two sets of documents installed, which was a little untidy.The package installs and works on Debian Wheezy. I haven't tried it on an Ubuntu, but I think it should work without modification.
