Hello, Robin!
I apologize, I never created any debs. I did try to call
git-buildpackage, but it said home/louigi is not a repository,
so I guess I need to do some preparation, but most importantly -
learn how to do this.
I remember I did want to do debs, but it turned out to be a time consuming
and complex process.
I do plan to learn how to use PPA at least. Creating a PPA account might
be useful.
