dh-make will create a template for a Debian package and get you
started. As far as I understand, on the Debian package level, all
you'll have to do is install the right files in the right place. With
the template created for you by dh-make, you'd add the files that need
to be installed in the file debian/PACKAGE_NAME.install (in the Debian
source package), with format:

source_file /directory/where/to/install

To create the Debian binary package (the .deb), run "debuild" or
"dpkg-buildpackage".
