The information there seems to be outdated, in particular packaging/debian/control and I have no idea how to use this (I cannot find a corresponding make target). I would be willing to invest some time to learn this but I have never done this before and I am not sure I can figure out the dependencies (including version numbers) reliably. I would very much prefer if somebody with experience in building .deb packages would do this.

Roland kindly provided that initial Debian package… maybe you can get him to update it :-)
