I need to create a new .deb package of Realxtend project (https://github.com/realXtend/naali). It's a huge project with a lot of dependencies and a automatic bash script (/tools/Linux/build-deps.bash) to download, compile and install all deps and executables. So I try many tutorials but I often some errors and i'm stuck because tutorials are outdated (with new 'rules' file mainly) ...and also because i'm not a dev initialy.
So, for beginning, I just need create a .deb file exactly like an simple archive ie not interpret any building process, 'makefile', or others kind of things. I would like just compress/uncompress a .deb file contains all project already configured with all dependencies like a .zip file with any folder, uncompress all content just next the archive.
I have 2 folders /naali and /naali-deps with various files (exe, src, lib,...) configured with running build-deps.bash on Ubuntu Precise x64.
I run dh_make,
clean and fill /debian files (changelog, control, copyright),
create a gpg key and run sudo debuild -us -uc -k0xCODE (i heard 'sudo' it's "bad" but i don't know without...)
I get this :

...so i need help on :
1) Do you know a updated and complete tutorial (for newbie) other than 'Debian New Maintainer' and irc/maillist like #debian-dev... -> see Phpdna link and for specific sources packaging where i understand my error and use dpkg-source cmd : http://debian-handbook.info/browse/wheezy/sect.source-package-structure.html
2) How do make a 'debianization' of my project ? -> with dh_make then dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot, it's the (a) good way
3) Where are my errors ? -> empty-binaries-files lintian warning is normal, then wrong cmd : need dpkg-source, not dpkg-deb
4) What should I do with ${shlibs:Depends} ? -> an automatic lib-deps-links thing, i don't mind on that now
5) Why I have a empty-binary-package ? -> in fact, all data already build stay in .orig.tar.gz in my case
Thanks a lot if you can enlighten me on .deb package magic.
EDIT :
So i found the final cmd i need, just dpkg-source -x projet-version.dsc. I didn't understand .deb file contents only changes and i stucked with debuild and dpkg-deb -... cmds for building not for extract sources (and any files).
Solution :
sudo apt-get install debhelper build-essential dh-make- create folder /project with another folder into contains all project named /project-version
dh_make --createorig in /project-version + rm -rf *ex *EX README* in /debian + fill correctly /debian/{rules;copyright;changelog}dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot with -us -uc or -k0x[GPG-KEY] in /project-version- Keep always together {project_version.orig.tar.gz (all data projects); project_version.debian.tar.gz (modifs); project_version_all/any.deb (modifs); project_version_arch.changes (meta); project_version.dsc (meta)}
- Run
dpkg-source -x projet-version.dsc to extract project
So now, go to add some automatic scripts with it and as soon as it will succes, i will mark resolved.
