I do something like that but it's specialized for my own type of 
deployment so I won't publish it here.

At first I created a makefile for a project (not a Gambas project) which 
builds all the Gambas programs and libs necessary and also has the 
functionality to clean up afterwards.

This makefile is necessary for 'dpkg-buildpackage' which creates a 
Debian style package.

'dpkg-buildpackage' needs a 'debian' folder with a couple of config 
files where it can pack everything.

Then I have a script 'debian-paket-bauen' (alias for 
build-debian-package) which increases the version number, logs the 
changes from Git and creates the package with 'dpkg-buildpackage' (which 
is part of the debian 'devscripts' package).

I can create and send you a skeleton if you want.

Alles Gute
